....that's how lucky I am.
Somehow, I have gone over 7 years without ever getting any points on my license, and I keep saying that is going to catch up to me at some point. It almost did tonight.
I managed to get pulled over on the way home from the trucks tonight. This wouldn't be a huge deal, since my license is clean, and I'm always polite to officers, but.....my registration is expired, and of course, the car is also due for inspection. So that + 80 in a 65 = I think I'm getting at least one ticket, if not a few.
Cop walks back to the window with no ticket. I am confused. He says that he saw the most recent time I was pulled over for speeding in the computer (which was on the way to the Nats), and that I was obviously not getting the message. He said he could write me for 15 over ($270 + 4 points) plus have the car impounded, since it wasn't registered.
He decided to let me go, unharmed, and tell me that he was gonna check on my registration tomorrow night, same time, to make sure that everything was up to date. If not, he was gonna write me for speeding and mail the ticket.
Needless to say, I came home and hit up the DMV's website, only to find that it is down for maintenence
Oh well, I'll keep trying, and if I must, I'll just run up to DMV on a late lunch tomorrow and take care of it then.
I really have to stop being such a slacker......
