It wasn't terribly dramatic, but I truly had a "what the fuck did I DO" moment. You see, we were jamming to- I kind you not- Vacation Bible School music, so I figured I must've been speeding.
But no.
I had just turned left onto a road, a road with a light, but no turn signal. As one does, on the green light, I pulled halfway into the intersection- signal on- an waited for a gap in the traffic so I could turn left.
No gap came, and, again, we were jamming, so maybe I was a second late in proceeding through the turn under red.
At any rate, that's what I was pulled for, for running a red light.
I'm due for a ticket, but even as the cop told me to step out of the car (!), I figured this one was worth fighting.
I handed him my license and insurance card and registration, and smiled ruefully to myself. Well, hey, thought I. I just dropped $200 at the vet for annuals for my furries. Whatever, I will figure this out.
Then the cop came back to me, handed me my shit, told me to be more careful, and drove off.
No ticket. Fucking SCORE!
But really. Doesn't everybody pull half early through the intersection on a left turn without an arrow?
