Karma and the Dumb A$$? Law

BumFiretrUCK, Nevada - April MMVII
It must be Karma. I should have NEVER called that tailgating trucker a dumb a$$. Kassr the opinionated c00kie man was frequently correct in some of his assessments. Most likely, it was my fault the Trucker was tailgating me despite the fact that I was going 70 miles per hour.

I really don't know the Scenerio although, I've frequently heard Gene the dufus truckdriver (bless his heart) dubiously bless Sunday School Drivers.

I agreed meet a friend for java and at the Silver Strike Casino Coffee Shop. Just before I was getting ready drive the car into the parking lot - The Bubble Gum Lights flash behind .

Maam, You made a wide turn at the stop light. How much have you had to drink.

Sorry Officer, I don't drink anything alcoholic at . Thinking myself, "it's dark and I am used driving big a$$ trucks

Maam, License, Registration, and Proof of Insurance

"OPPS! I think I left my license by the computer at home when I was looking at it when filing for an on-line job

" Okay, Maam, Name and Social Security Number and keep looking for that proof of insurance""

I finally found the license but could not locate the proof of insurance.

"Okay Maam, It not that I don't believe you but you need step out of the car and do a field sobrierty test"

I felt like asking the officer how well he would fare doing those dumb tests as I completed the field sobrierty tests.

"Are you Sure that you haven't been drinking! Maam"

"No Sir! I absolutely don't drink!"

He goes back the police car and get bored when he does the crimimal background check . I have a 1982 "Disturbing the Peace" Conviction from my Hoochy Kootchy Dancing Days.
"
Okay Maam, I am writing you a ticket for no insurance, Send proof the court and it will go away"

"No Problem, Officer"
I signed the ticket and the Law went away.

By the time I made it the Silver Strike, the coffee shop was closed. My gentleman friend and I chatted over a cup of coffee at the bar. Indeed, I was drinking. I was drinking COFFEE!

He was standing by his car in the parking lot watching the cop make take the field sobriety test. He was laughing.

This will be a great story to tell at the next Step Meeting.


Have you ever been stopped by the Law for Drunk Driving when you were actually not drunk. Did the Officer believe you?

I was driving an unfamiliar car at night and wasn't used to Nevada Roads. I didn't know where the proof of insurance was located. I was VERY nervous. I was also close to 30 years teetotalling.

A few years ago, I was stopped in down town Atlanta. Fortunately the cop did not conclude that I was drinking. He determined that I was a dumb hick from West Virginia who didn't know how to drive in crazy city traffic. He concluded correctly.

No, not for looking like I was drinking, but one time I was stopped by the state cop for not using my left turn signal. I thought it was a dumb stop because I was stopped at a stop sign at a T intersection. There were only two ways to go, and I was in the left turn lane! When I handed him my driver's license, he started berating me because it was expired by a couple months. I had totally forgotten to get it renewed. He said, very sarcastically, "How would you feel if I arrested you and took you to jail in front of your kids?!!" He didn't, thank goodness, and let us go on when my husband took over driving.
I'm also a country hick who does not like, and does not do well in big city traffic.
Was that Kassr, our friend in the advice lines, that you mentioned? The last I heard from him, he sent me greeting through a mutual friend who knew both of us in person. He was very ill, from the effects of agent orange. I wonder if he is even still with us.

"Kassr", now there's a name from the past. Thanks for the memories of past days when sanity did seem to prevail on this so called dating site.

I have not been stopped by a law enforcement officer since 1986, and the last ticket I received was issued in the late 70's. I don't drink alcohol, so I wouldn't be worry about passing a sobriety test.

I was stopped late one night for the license plate light being out.
I thought how ridiculous! Then I remembered a junior high school teacher telling us many times to always be friendly toward the police for obvious reasons.----------So I said thanks officer I could have killed someone driving like that. LOL
Then we discussed if I preferred a warning ticket or the alternative. LOL
Party On!

Hi, JW. I was just thinking about you this weekend, and how you hadn't been around for quite awhile. Hope it was because you were busy and the fish were biting, and not because anything was wrong.

I've never been stopped for drunk driving. Never liked drinking alcohol, don't do drugs, but I did get stopped for driving past a state trooper in Arizona while on a road trip with a friend, her daughter and my youngest daughter. The truck's speedometer was off by 5 mph, so me not knowing I drove by the trooper thinking he was a jerk for slowing down all the cars lined up behind him. Yep, I was pulled over. He tells me I was doing 70 in a 65 speed limit. I looked at him, told him my cruise was set at 65, and that I would have to be crazy to pass him knowing I was speeding. He didn't give me a ticket, he was laughing by the time I got through with my explanation. Oh, the reason it was off, I put larger tires on my truck. Oops!!

Hi MrsJoe
The fish are biting but it rains almost everyday now similar to the way it was when I visited Costa Rica so I am tired of watching the grass grow-----which leads me to venture into this fine place once again. LOL
I've been trying to find a way to contribute to the blog conversations but it is difficult to mix in. LOL
I can't get past one wine cooler----- I don't chase the ladies anymore------Nobody is impressed with tractors -------Plus I do not know how to load pictures of myself LOLOL

I may become a monk. LOLOL
Party On!
