I am coming home early from a party that I just left it is Ten Thirty p.m. I have just been pulled over for running a red light. I feel panicked, but manage to pull over calmly; checking my breath; it smells fine. The officer makes his way to my window, and I roll it down.
-
Officer Anderson:
License and registration, please.
-
Me:
Yes, here you go officer. So what is the reason I have been pulled over?
-
Officer Anderson:
You just ran that red light just a minute ago.
-
Me:
Oh, I am sorry officer, but I could have sworn it turned yellow once I got to the crosswalk. That is my fault; I could not have seen it change.
-
Officer Anderson:
I see; that could be the case. Let me go run these through the computer.
-
Me:
Ok then.
-
The officer walks over to his patrol car and takes quite a long time to get back. I manage to keep calm and not act out of line. The officer starts to walk, but he does not look too happy.
-
Officer Anderson:
Well everything came out fine, but I am going to have to give you a ticket.
-
Me:
Officer, I have tried my best to keep a clean record; do you think you could overlook over this mistake? I cannot afford to get a ticket; auto insurance is already expensive enough.
-
Officer Anderson:
Well, you do seem to me like a safe driver; I guess I could let you go with a warning.
-
Me:
Thank you so much officer; I appreciate it.
-
Officer Anderson:
At least you are not like the last guy who I pulled over, and whined at me to let him off with a warring.
-
Me:
It is a good thing I am nothing like that. Well, have a good night officer.
-
Officer Anderson:
You too; and drive safely.
-
Me:
I will officer.
