A drive home becomes an adventure!
So, we get done with the Kentucky game last night and what normally takes me about 30 minutes to get home took me OVER AN HOUR! This time, it wasn't weather related. When I drove across the WV bridge there in Chesapeake, there was a cop sitting there and saw me coming. I am aware of the fact that I have a burnt out head light. I'm waiting to get paid to fix it. Anyway, so the Chesapeake cop swings his car completely around and "lights me up." So, like a good law abiding citizen, I pull over. He then says, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" To which I replied, "Not really." He proceeds to tell me that I have a headlight out which I already knew. Then he tells me as I was stopping that one of my brake lights isn't working! Can it get any worse?? Everything comes back fine in Chesapeake so I mosy my little car down past Wal-Mart. No sooner than I get to the red light, a state highway patrol car whips around and "lights me up!" At this point I'm laughing. I'm just like, "REALLY?!?!?!" So he comes up and proceeds to tell me that my tags will expire on my birthday which is in 2 weeks. Also he tells me that my license plate cover covers up the word Ohio on my plates and that Ohio must be visible. I informed the cop that was the second time I had been stopped tonight. He issues me a Motor Vehicle Inspection Report. That little piece of paper says I am aware of the headlight and I will get it fixed when I can. I knew I was about to go through the rest of South Point & Coal Grove. The cop told me before I pulled away that if I present them with my license and that paper, all should be well. I finally made it home 1 hour later than I should have. I'm home now and all is well but it leaves me wondering. How many drunk drivers, meth heads, pill poppers, and hookers did you give up to get to the guy with the burnt out headlight? I'm just saying! JEEZ!
