ALL OF A SUDDEN, FLASHING BLUE LIGHTS RIGHT BEHIND ME
Being a good citizen, I pulled over. To my surprise, the po-lice pulled in right behind me!
Mr. Policeman: Do you know you are driving with EXPIRED TABS? Like they expired over a month ago?
Me: (having immediately broken out into a guilty sweat, for no good reason). Um, no I didn't officer. This is my daughter's car. My daughter who has BEEN AT DEATH'S DOOR for two weeks, so probably didn't realize her tabs had expired!
PO: Well, can I see the registration and proof of insurance?
Me: Sure! Whereupon, I open Rotch's glove box and about 30 tons of crap fell out. None of which was her current registration OR insurance paperwork.
After about 5 minutes back in the squad car, the officer came back and said, "I won't write you up a ticket today, but your daughter has 10 days to get the new tabs.
And you might want to talk to her about cleaning out her glove box."
Mission accomplished, Officer.
And THIS is why I never leave the house.

and this is reason number #621 why you dont borrow anything from the Rotch!
so funny - and can so relate!
I got a my very first ticket while in college after failing to make a complete stop. It was deferred for one year meaning if I didn't get any other violations it would
Be gone. On the one year anni I was driving downtown to the courthouse and got pulled over for expired tabs and a nice fat ticket. When I showed up to the court house I was informed I didn't actually have to show up that day anyhow...
oh that's even worse than my stop Lis!
Sorry!!!!! I'm just glad that you didn't get a ticket and that I now have tabs. Thanks for taking such good care of me mom!
The worst feeling ever. Were you shaky sam? I just got a talking on my cell phone ticket. Police Officers are lame.com.
Lis...that is terrible.
oh I was totes shaky, sweaty, stuttering. In other words, I looked like a complete perp. And I hadn't even DONE anything. LOL on the talking ticket, you dork. They LIVE to give that one out. Lorraine got 2 in a week in the same spot. So there's someone dorkier than you!
I got pulled over for drunk driving (on Main stree, in Bothell), but at the time I had no idea why I was being pulled over. So when the office asked I responded I had no idea. I gues at that point because there were no alcohol fumes emanating from me I was off the hook. But shaky anyway and worried I was going to have to perform tricks in high heels.
This was my second one. Cheers Lorraine! And mom...I forgot you got pulled over for a DUI. Awesome.
