Narrowly escaping a "driving without headlights on " ticket. I went out briefly earlier to pick up a certain drill bit at Sears. I am drilling holes in numerous 10+ gallon buckets readying for my tomato plants. I crammed my visa and driver's license in my back pocket on my way out the door. This policeman wanted to see my insurance card too. I didn't have it but managed to produce FEB 2012 tag receipt and work security card with photo on it. I turned on my interior light when he stopped me and made a big production of unfastening my seatbelt - which I was not wearing. I knew he'd order me back in my truck when I stepped out ... but had to step out ... why else would I unfasten the seat belt?
He was nice, no ticket. All that chit and did not find the drill bit I needed. Well, my little heart has now finally quit flapping around in there ... so it's all good again. LOL!
