I got pull over by the law for Drunk Driving It is really annoying to be stopped by a cop and accused of being a criminal when I am essentally a law-abidding person. It must be Karma. I should have NEVER called that tailgating trucker a dumb a$$. Most likely, it was my fault the Trucker was tailgating me despite the fact that I was going 70 miles per hour. I really don't know the Scenerio although, I've frequently heard the dufus Trucker Gene (bless his heart) cite colorful words at Sunday School Drivers that trudge in front of him. Yesterday evening, I agreed to meet a friend for java and chat at the Silver Strike Casino Coffee Shop. Just before I was getting ready to drive the car into the parking lot - The Bubble Gum Lights flash behind me.  Maam, You made a wide turn at the stop light. How much have you had to drink. Sorry Officer, I don't drink anything alcoholic at all. Thinking to myself, "it's dark and I am used to driving big a$$ trucks Maam, License, Registration, andProof of Insurance "OPPS! I think I left my license by the computer at home when I was looking at it when filing for an on-line job " Okay, Maam, Name and Social Security Number and keep looking for that proof of insurance"" I finally found the license but could not locate the proof of insurance. " Okay Maam, It not that I don'tbelieve you but you need to step out of the car and do a field sobrierty test" I felt like asking the officer how well he would fare doing those dumb tests as I completed the field sobiery tests and passed them all. "Are you SURE that you haven't been drinking! Maam" "No Sir! I absolutely don't drink!" He goes back to the police car and get bored when he does the crimimal background check on me.  I have a 1982 "Disturbing the Peace" Conviction from my Hoochy Kootchy Dancing Days. "Okay Maam, I am writing you a ticket for no insurance, Send proof to the court and it will go away" "No Problem, Officer" I signed the ticket and the Law went away. By the time I made it to the Silver Stike, the coffee shop was closed. My friend and I chatted over a cup of coffee at the bar. Indeed, I was drinking. I was drinking COFFEE! This will be a great story to tell at the next 12 Step Meeting. I've been sober almost 30 years.   Abracadabra  |

Yep, I happen to enjoy having a couple of drinks but do know better than to mix them with driving. If I am gonna drink I stay at home they make you a solitary drinker! That said one night coming home from an indian casino, almost all nighter, I get pulled over two doors down from my house. My eyes were red and bloodshot from staring at machines all night the cop just didn't want to believe I wasn't drinking, I passed his silly test and he finally noticed I was two doors from home and let me go but they do get pretty insistant especially when trying to meet quota!

The ticket is easy enough to fix, all I have to do is send the court the proof of insurance and the ticket goes away. It was hilarious to get stopped and made to do the field sobriery test when I have been a non-drinker for years. Abracadabra
