This morning I had a funny feeling, like I should make sure I had my insurance papers, etc, handy in case I was ever pulled over. I actually made the effort to check the glovebox as I was stopped at a light, just to make sure. It was a weird compulsion, because I'm a really cautious and lawful driver, and it came out of nowhere.
You can see where this is going.
Later this afternoon, I was on my way back from a sushi lunch w/Owen (he had the chicken), when Owen remarked that there was a police car next to us at the light. I nodded, and we continued our little singalong to the Juno soundtrack (he knows all the words). As the light changed and we pulled forward, Mr. Policeman pulled directly behind us, lights flashing. Ah, nice.
I truly had no idea why I was being pulled over. Did I have a light out? It turned out that my inspection sticker was expired and I had no. earthly. idea. Totally oblivious. I'm a smart one.
Fortunately, the officer was really nice, gave me a kind warning, told me to get it inspected asap, and sincerely thanked me for being an organ donor before sending me on my way.
I haven't been pulled over in 15 years, so I'm really glad it went smoothly. I can't take that sort of excitement. Also, I'm a complete a-hole who should look at her windshield more often. And apparently I'm psychic.
