Today I made a bone-head move of pulling a U-Turn in front of a police officer. Not such a big deal but I basically pulled away from the curb, across two lanes of traffic, a middle turn lane, and then into the other side of the street.
Had no idea that was illegal since the street was 100% empty of any and all traffic.
Well it is illegal. Can't UTurn from the curb.
So he pulled me over, checked my papers, and sent me on my way with a polite, respectful verbal warning.
Being 44 with the same (correct) address on all of my documents just got me out of a ticket Isurely would have received had I been a younger man (I am sure of ths because as a younger man I got LOTS of tickets).
So now my record is STILL clean and I didn't get a fine and my insurance doesn't go up like it would have if I had been young. And we all know young people pay higher rates because they are poor drivers.
Event thought I just made a young-person mistake.
As a grown-up.
I'll take it.
