mmytacism 0 #1 November 30, 2005 Okay, so it's not that exciting, but I *did* break the law-- I exceeded the posted speed limit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It's the first time I've ever been pulled over. The reason I post this, dear readers, is that *Judgment Day* has arrived. Yes, in less than 2 hours, I will stand sheepishly before what I imagine as a 13-foot-tall podium that shoots out spikes when the disapproving judge, whose countenance resembles Mr. Yuck, hurls his gavel across the courtroom because he's bored of the earth-shaking slam. The best advice so far? Wear a skirt and a bonnet, carry a small dog, burst into song when possible, and keep mumbling that all I want to do is go home to Kansas. If I do not return for many moons, assume that I've been institutionalized. (: That is all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mmytacism 0 #11 November 30, 2005 I scheduled a court appearance to beg for a points reduction (in Pennsylvania, it's generally the case that the more points you have to your license, the higher your insurance premium will be). The court experience was every bit as scary as I'd imagined. The judge didn't need a 13-foot-tall podium: she was already an Amazon. And, as I'd expected, she did resemble Mr. Yuck--sour-apple-puss and everything. So, the verdict? A one-point reduction and $22 off the original fine. I suppose it could be worse, though I'm sort of regretting not taking the "when-did-you-last-calibrate-your-tuning-fork" route. The best part was bonding with the other hapless souls in the waiting room. One guy, a commercial truck driver, had been ticketed by the same officer for driving in the passing lane without passing anyone. :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
