 Posted: 03/19/04 - 11:39 Post subject: Got a citation today...
What is it with me and vehicles this week? urg!
I guess I didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign, so I got a citation. I can either go to court, pay $125, or go to a 4-hour defensive driving class. If I go to the class, then it doesn't affect insurance, no points. So I'll be doing that. Plus, it's only $40.
Honest to Betsy already.
THEN, while in Walmart, ADT calls to tell me the house alarm has gone off. Luckily, it was a false alarm (our 3rd, next false alarm will cost us $100).
I had thought about skipping preschool today as I was just so tired. I now wish I had.
D'oh!
The po po was a super nice guy (aside from the whole citation thing,  ). We got to talking about neighborhoods and speed limits, and I told him how people drive so fast in mine, so he gave me his card and told me to give him a call next week and we'd set up a radar thing and possibly figure out if we can get a speed hump installed. So not a completely bad thing.

Well shucks and great. Making not not to get into a vehicle with Brie but thinking her neighborhood might be safe to run in soon.
hmm basically $40.00 to keep the neighborhood safe and have buddy on the force. i think it is $40.well spent.

Feeling good but stupid. I also found out that it's $40 for the class PLUS $100 in court fees (the class is not in court though  ) so I will spend more $$ than the ticket, but really, save money with the insurance over the long haul.
I am glad that we'll get traffic evaluated in our neighborhood soon. Just need to make sure hubby knows. I don't think he ever drives 25mph through here. I will admit that it's hard to do with the hills.
And I'm USUALLY a very safe driver. I always buckle up, I don't speed in town (interstate is another story), and use my turn signal. I just evidently don't stop 100% at stop signs. Dangit. (I stopped, just not for but a second).
I'm not leaving the house tomorrow! I'm worried I'm paying off some karmic debt!!
