Yes, Tammi, that is right. I got the blue light special again. But this time I really didn't do anything.....well I did, but I didn't. Give a chance to explain for you all start shaking your heads. It all began two months ago when a rock flew up and hit my windshield. In order for it to pass inspection I had to get a new one. So, I went and got it replaced about two weeks or maybe three weeks ago. My inspection sticker ran out the last day of March and I had the windshield put in the following Thursday. I know. I know. Shame on me. I just didn't have to time. So, then I waited a week after the windshield had been replace to go get it inspected. Let me clarify something. The week before the windshield was replaced I was driving with a dead inspection sticker and the week after I was driving with NO inspection sticker. Anyway, I finally dragged my rear to get the inspection done. They inspected it and came back and told me that I need two new head (for those of you have never had to buy new headlights they are right at 200.00 for one. That mean it would have been 400.00 since I would have had to buy two.), then he told me that my wiper blades needed to be replaced, then I need a new strut on the back right side, and a new back right tire. He ask if I wanted him to fix all of that. I had a funny feeling in my stomach so I said no. Just put a rejection sticker on it and my daddy would be down to take care of it. Well, Friday I was on my way home from Connie's. I passed a cop and I glanced up in my mirror to see if he was coming back. I wasn't speed or breaking any laws. It just comes natural when you have had as many tickets as I have. He didn't appear to be turning around so I continued. I got to the stop light about 1/4 of a mile from where I passed the cop. I was looking down changing a CD and wasn't paying attention while I was driving. When I glanced up there he was right behind me stopped at the same stop light I was with the blue lights on. Appealingly he had been behind for some time and I hadn't noticed him so he turned the sirens on for a minute and that got my attention and that is when I glanced up. I threw my hand up to let him know I saw him and as soon as the light turned I would pull over. I went ahead and got my licnecs out. I know the routine well. I had them out the window to hand to him before he even walked up. He ask me what was wrong with my car and I told him. He looked at the sticker to see if I was within my grace period and I was. Then he explained that if I were to get in a wreck that insurance wouldn't cover even if it wasn't my fault. So, I listen. What else could I do. Then he asked my like four times if I was wanted for anything or if I was in trouble with the law. I kept telling him no. He told me that we will see as soon as my information came back and I said I guess we will. I was laughing. I thought it was funny. I must have really looked guilty!! He ask me if the address on the DL was correct and I had to say no because it wasn't. Actually, I haven't had the address on the licence for over a year ( I didn't tell him that). He ask how long had I live at my current residence. I told him since January. That is no lie. I have only lived in the apartment I live in now, which is about 4 blocks from my old apartment, since January 6th. So, I didn't lie. I didn't offer information that I hadn't lived at that particular address for over a year. Is that I lie? I answered his questions without adding any extra information. He told me that he wasn't going to give me a ticket for either because I was nice and cooperated with him. Then I told him he was the nicest cop I had met in Roanoke. Then he ask "just how many tickets have you had?!" "7." "And you are sure your licence are not surspended?" "Not that I have notified of." Then he ask me what the tickets where for and I began to explain that they all had been dismissed but two. Then my information came back, and he looked at me and said....I guess your okay. Nothing came back. I just wanted to scream "Duh! I told you that 10 minutes ago!" I just said thank you and drove off laughing.
Anyway, We took my car today and finished getting it fixed. I cleaned the headlights myself instead of replacing them. The mechanic told me there was nothing wrong with my tired or my strut or the spring on it. He put two new tires on it anyway and told me where to go to get it inspected. So, my dad did and it passed with flying colors.
It seems that I have to get pulled over every 6 months or so just to keep me in line. Even when I am legal!

Texas had those stupid inspection stickers. I'm soooo glad Alabama doesn't. But then Alabama has State Income Tax and also Food tax.
You are so funny, you're not supposed to admit how many times you've gotten pulled over. You're crazy. I'm glad that this cop didn't give you a ticket for your license!!!
We have food tax and state imcome tax to....I think.
