Seriously
 
OK, I tried to start a lighthearted thread and it was hijacked and became quite serious. So serious that I gave up on following it...
Hoovie tried to start a serious thread and it was hijacked... at least three times so far!
So I have a theory. I have here started a serious thread. How long will it take to get off topic???


Seriously. :nutso

Oh, and BTW, Timmy, the worst of my driving:
I have been pulled over around 25 times for drinking and driving. The most alcohol I've ever consumed at one time was that thimble full of communion wine-less than a glass in my entire life!
Most of the times I was pulled over for drinking and driving, I was on my way to or from church... and I was not on a cell phone. Just driving.
Most times pulled over in one hour: 2. And when, on the last pull-over, the police approached my car and found me almost hysterical, they asked if I needed to take my medication. They only thought I was hysterical before they asked that!

If the speed of light slows over time, then why am I aging so quickly?
If the speed of light slows over time, maybe I'm not really speeding-the radar detectors are off!

You have to be joking about the traffic stuff.

Nope, really true. Last DWI pull over was last year... high profile vehicle, higher wind, I tend to hug the shoulder when I drive... bad combo.
Once I was pulled over in town because I couldn't find a certain building. They saw me "weaving" on the road (I was trying to shine my headlights on the street signs to figure out where I was) and pulled me over. Made me get out of the car, shined their flashlights in my face (how rude), and so forth. I couldn't figure out what they were doing. Explained that my friends and I were lost, and could they direct us to XYZ UPC? One doubled over laughing and had to leave. The other finally regained enough composure to give me directions and let me go. My friends later explained why they made me get out of the car and were shining their lights in my face.
Once I was laughing about how often I'd been pulled over for DUI when, guess what? Yep, lights came on behind us!

It was when I was pulled over twice in one hour that I was told to leave the state and never come back. I told them gladly!

My all time personal favorite was when little country me was driving through XYZ metropolis. I was pulled over for speeding. I told him, no, I was on the highway. He said, no, that I was going 55 (or whatever it was) within city limits. I leaned out the window and looked around, stunned. I said, "It can't be the city. There's trees!" I guess he was laughing too hard to write. He let me go. :D

Good heavens!! Should you hire a professional driver? :lol

"XYZ UPC Church". What a weird name for a church. Oh well, takes all kinds, I suppose!

Re: Seriously
 
The last time I got pulled over was back in early 2002 or 2003. Coming home from work a little after midnight I made the mistake of crossing lanes while turning ... instead of staying in the turning lane. I needed to be in the right lane, so with no one around, I just switched lanes towards the end of the turn.

Cop pulled me over, came up and said he smelled alcohol on me and in the vehicle. Only problem is I don't drink. But he was insistent that I had been drinking, asked me to exit my car and proceeded to give me a sobriety test.

I had to balance on one leg, touch my nose with my finger whilst balancing on one leg. He even made me start reciting the alphabet backwards from "J" or "I."

Finally he said I could either take a breathalyzer test in the car, or be cuffed and taken to the station and forced to give one there. I took the test in the car ... cuffed ... in the back seat.

Of course I passed. No apology given. No ticket. Nothing. Just a "have a good night."

I knew someone with connections to the chief, and ended up writing a statement about it at his request since they'd been getting complaints from people who had been pulled and given the same deal like me.

Didn't hear anything about it after I wrote a statement.

Oh, that's a church? Thought it was some kind of fight club, or something. Hmm. Maybe it was that, too! :heeheehee

My husband's been pulled over three times for drunk driving, and he doesn't drink. Sleeps, but doesn't drink.

Just stay off the roads and you'll be safe... until I get that pilot's license and start flying people around so they don't have to go through the full body scans at the airport, anyway.

Last time I got a ticket was 1989..going 35 in a 30. The Michigan State troopers took exception, for some reason, to me calling them rookies.

I remember my son saying, "When I get my driver's license, you are never driving while I'm in the car again!"

Of course, I was teasing him and kept running the right tires a little on shoulder where the asphalt is a little rough. :toofunny

Doesn't the bible say to "Shun the very appearance of evil"? How good of a Christian witness do you think that was, standing on the side of the road, touching your nose while standing on one leg?

Better to have been handcuffed and driven to the station, right?? :nutso

I know someone that happened to... forgot to pay a ticket. Police showed up one night with a warrant and took him in. They would have let him go once they got him there and he paid up, but they had showed up later at night and he had been dressed in sweats. He was so discombobulated by the arrest that he left his wallet on the dresser-and all his money and checkbook and ID.

He finally called his pastor to come and bail him out of jail!!

Took him a loooooong time to live that one down...
