Disobey Traffic Device: Red Light
Today I recieved my first traffic violation. It was also the first time I have ever been pulled over. I was in Broken Arrow, at the light at 71st and 145th, and I went through a YELLOW light. I was talking to Toni so I didn’t see it turn yellow, but once I noticed it I would have had to slam on my breaks or go. I chose go. The light turned red just as I was going under it, past the intersection. A cop on a motorcycle pulled me over. I didn’t have an updated insurance card, so I got two tickets. 104 dollars for running through a red light, and the insurance one, which will be erased when I show them I have it. The cop was friendly enough, but he still gave me two tickets, and he called the Yellow light a Red light. Is that crap about getting tickets pushed into the end of the month true?
I think that 6 years is a reasonable amount of time to be driving without having an accident or being pulled over (I don’t count Saied’s music, do you think that’s ok Justin?). If anyone would like to share their craziest traffic violation story I would be happy to hear it. It actually really made me sad so a little cheering up would be nice.
Thanks friends.
