Fun at Traffic Court!

Traffic CourtWhat a great day I had today! I got to drive an hour north to the City of Kingston to sit for 1.5 hours on a hard wooden bench in Traffic Court! Woo hoo! That was almost as much fun as getting pulled over by an incredibly pleasant and warm-hearted (not!) state trooper at 7 AM on my way to teach the last CPS certification class. Apparently I was driving 72 on this stretch of highway and didn’t realize it was a 55 mph zone. My bad.  

To be honest, I was really annoyed when the trooper wrote me but he was annoyed with me too for not pulling over immediately (silly me was actually looking for a safe place to pull over instead of the non-existent shoulder of the highway). I tried, very politely, to explain this to him when he got all huffy with me but he didn’t seem to appreciate my concern for both his safety and mine. Whatever.  

The good news is that the prosecutor let me plead to a non-moving violation. I think I pled to parking on the curb or something along those lines. The bad news is that it still cost $100. Thank goodness my DH never reads this blog.  😉
