Oops - a careless mistake on the road and a warning

My run in with the police were for not making a complete stop on an intersection several years ago.

I did that one time

i don't drive, but it's been a while. Thankfully we hadn't had any problems with the police since George started driving again. We made doubbly sure that we were insured, and that we had the sticker for the van to say the regerstration is up-to-date.

That had to be a nerve-wracking moment. It’s so easy to miss something small like headlights when you’re just filling up and getting back on the road. Glad the officer was understanding

Towns and cities can be so well lit that it's easy to pull out and forget to turn on your lights.

Oh god yes I'm a biker and cops take great delight in pulling bikers over. I think it turns them on. I really do. This wee boy cop who looked about 17 years old pulled me.over.for going to slow. I pointed out that the gradient of the hill would not allow the bike to propel any faster. I pointed out the bike was legal for that road and it wasn't my fault if they put a steep hill on a major dual carriageway. He said he could charge me with careless driving so I told him he should do it I told him he would look ******* in court and he must have seen the folly of his actions because he told us to be on our way after he checked my license etc. No common sense at all

knock on wood. I have not been stopped in a long time other than normal checkpoints where everyone is stopped to show insurance and drivers licenses.

Yes, but not for something like that. My headlights come on when I start my car. I'm glad it was just a warning. Tickets can be expensive.

I've never had a ticket or been stopped with a warning.
