I Got Stopped by a Policeman

Hey, this was something that I didn't expect! A young policeman with his vehicle and flashers going full throttle. This fella was very polite:) He immediately asked me, "Do you realize you didn't fully stop at that crossing?" With a lump in my throat I replied, "No sir, I certainly didn't realize this, sorry!" The officer politely asked for my registration and proof of insurance, which I had in the glove compartment. Then I stupidly commented, "Hey, I'm a seventy two year old grandmother! And this will be my very first ticket!" He walked back to his car, to bring up my records on the computer system. About five minutes passed by, it seemed a lot longer. People were gazing from the sidewalk, I did my best to avoid eye contact with them. I usually stare, when it's some other driver who's in hot water The officer came back to my window and handed me the registration/proof of insurance."Be more careful, that's a dangerous crosswalk across Newman Street!" I replied, "Yes, I need to be more careful:)" He kindly reached and we shook hands. That was a close call and it was 100% my fault The officer only gave me a warning, thank heavens for that blessing The Lord teaches us lessons, especially through our own errors and wrongdoings Photo: Borrowed from Pixabay
