Hello Mr. Police man, Sir.

2009 has started off with a bang...or rather a multitude of lights. The lights from a police car, none the less. I was heading to the book store to buy books for the term. I completed my turn and looked in the rear view mirror. The ever so familiar flashing, red, blue and white lights. The first thing I thought was "what did I do wrong?!" I was pulled over today for making an unprotected left turn and not yielding. For some reason I thought I had right of way. I didn't. The officer was kind enough to let me go with a warning. He must have known I had never been pulled over before because I didn't even know what my car registration looked like. I had to ask him. Rookie mistake. I've never been pulled over for anything in the 5+ years of driving. I always thought I would be one of those girls who cried and tried to weasel their way out of the ticket, but I'm proud to say I was calm and responsible about the whole situation. I apologized and admitted my own mistake. Why lie? I think that helped in my avoiding a ticket. Although I'm still kicking myself for being so stupid to begin with, I'm proud that I was able to deal with the situation in a responsible manner.

But God forbid it ever happen again!
