I was having a great day until I saw the police car
behind me with its loud siren and lights
flashing. I pulled off the road
and waited for the officer to approach my car.
Officer: May I see your driver’s license, proof
of insurance, and car registration,
please?
Lindsay: Let me get them out of my glove
compartment. Here they are. What did I do
wrong, officer?
Officer: Didn’t you see that stop sign back there?
Lindsay: Stop sign? What stop sign? I didn’t see
any stop sign.
Officer: Sit tight and I’ll be right
back.
...
I guess he was running my driver’s license and
license plate numbers to make sure
there are no outstanding warrants for
me or for my car. He came back after a few
minutes.
...
Officer: You ran a stop sign back there
and I’m going to have to give you a
citation.
Lindsay: Is that really necessary, officer? I’m
really sorry I ran the stop sign and I’ll be more
careful next time.
Officer: I suppose I could let you off
with a warning, just this once.
Lindsay: Oh, thank you so much!
Officer: Drive more carefully in the future.
Lindsay: I will. I definitely will.
...
Phew! That was close. Good thing I
tossed the incriminating
evidence out the window before I pulled off
the road!
