My First Ticket (the Nonsense in Between)

My First Ticket

I suppose my luck has been running out since I got my driver's license. With all the driving (and speeding) I do this was inevitable. However, I always imagined it would be more intimate. He pulls me over, tells me I've been bad. We have a little back and forth and then he gives it to me. Sadly, my first was much different. There was no eye contact to be made, no conversation, no intimacy. Instead, I get a letter in the mail saying we took a picture of you going 11 miles an hour over, send us money. The good news is that photo tickets apparently do not show up on your record, meaning the insurance wont find out. So in the end the photo ticket was a better deal, even in its lack of intimacy.

Remember when you argued with the RPD officer over whether or not the curb was painted yellow? And when they told us that the ticket would only be like $19, you responded with, "Maybe the city should buy some paint and paint the curb yellow."

Rock out with your........

yeah that sucks... i hope that isnt how i get my first ticket... that is crap.. I would fight it in australia all cameras validity is being questioned right now, some guy sued saying it was innacurrate and the gov can't prove they are because the company that makes them wont disclose how they work.

Call me jealous but I don't think I want you getting intimate with a police officer. I'm glad you got a Photo-Radar ticket.
