Him- Can I see your license?
Me- Yeah, you're going to need this too. I know my plates are expired, but here's the tag in my purse, I just haven't put it on the plate because it's been to cold and the plate is too dirty.
Him- Yeah.... that's not why I pulled you over. I didn't even notice that until I got up behind you. Do you realize you're left headlight is out?
Me- Ummm. Yeah. I have the head light right here. **As I show him the headlight sitting on the console** I'm just trying to find someone who will put it in. The guy who was going to hasn't been available lately.
Him- Ok. Uh. Do you realize that when I saw you, you were going 52 in a 40?
Me- Ummm.... no. When I saw you I looked down and it said I was going 47.
Him-- Well either way, this is a 40mph zone.
Me- Oh.... I thought it was 45. (--Right about now is when I started to get that sinking feeling--)
Him-- Well... I'm not going to ticket you for anything. I do need you to take care of these issues though.
Me-- I will! I will! As soon as I can.
Him-- Sooner
Me-- No later than Saturday! (And I flash him my big cheesy grin)
Him- Ok. I need to go check a few things, just to make sure you're not wanted for murder anywhere and then I'll get this back to you.
Me- **Laughing loudly** Ummm... I'm too busy with work and school to murder anyone, but go ahead and double check.
I think that was the most pleasant traffic stop I've ever had. (and trust me... I've had a few!)
