Scenario 1: a woman is pulled over on the way to church with out-of-date registration (seven months) a license with the address three houses old -- yes, they give tickets for that -- and an old insurance card with an expired date on it. No ticket.
Scenario 2: a woman is pulled over on the way to help at an evening wedding reception. She thinks her car must have a light out, but the officer tells her she was going 40 in a 30. Ticket.
The first woman, who has yet to hit the big 3-0, is way cute. The second, late thirties and pretty average, would be me. I paid a big fine, opted for deferred adjudication and cannot receive a ticket for 90 days.
I chose to do this because I thought it would be better for me to have to be extra careful for three months than to take some internet defensive driving course and go on my merry way -- but each time I catch myself going 5 miles over the limit my heart races because I just know there is a policeman parked behind a tree waiting to give me a ticket .
But I am not bitter.
