ONE WEEK AGO THURSDAY I got my first Ticket, but first let me explain a little bit before I tell the whole story, and holy c--- a lot of stuff has happenned since I last posted, I'll try to conver as much as possible.
OK Diedre had her wisdom teeth removed a few days earlier and was on some hyped up . . . I think Tylenol. . . that had I believe. . . some form of . . .codine . . . or somthing, so she couldn't drive, so to get over my house she either had to get dropped off or me drive her there and getting home vice versa, so ok everything's been going awesome since my last post and now I"m taking her home, It's really dark and a little wet, and when I pull out of my driveway I realize my eyes haven't ajusted, making me feel awesome, so I'm kind of worry really cautious, plus I left a couple min late, so I drive to her house and when I get there it's 3 min late, and I ask if she normally gets home this late cuz she usually ends up leaving a couple min late, and she was like depends on how much I speed, and whatnot, (basically saying I usually get home earlier but you went the speed limit), Then she was like but your good you went the speed limit if even, which we kind of laughed about let her home, and then got back in the car and started driving home when I got to the end of 518 where the Cake Lady is right before 528 all of a sudden I see lights behind me. First thought in my head is O no I got a get out of the way of this cop, Second thought is. . .O SHIT I just got a ticket, wait now let me back up a bit, on the way back I was trying go 40 cuz the limit was 35 and at one point I reached 43 and took my foot off the gas and let it drift back down to at most the speed limit if not slower, well anyways I'm on a bridge so I slow down wait till I get off, and then pull over.
NOW THE FUN PART, (I doubt most of you have gotten this part of the ticket)
So I'm sitting there, holy crap there's no way to afford the insurance if I get a ticket, I can't pay for college as it is, my job can't cover crap, cuz it pays nothing, oh no oh no oh no Damn it, what am I gonna do, ok be calm honest, maybe just maybe you'll get just a warning oh who are you kidding, your 18 in no Mustang, but it's not a minivan either, your, speeding at 10:30 middle of the night, oh god I must look like a stereotypical teenager damn I'm screwed ok look calm be nice and polite. Suddenly beam of light oh god can't see, what the. . . oh wow that's a bright light on the car. So she comes over to me says did you know you were going 43 in 30? "no I knew I was speeding but not that much"
and somewhare in here license and stuff
P: Are you on any medication?
me: No
P: have you taken any prescription allergy medicine, . . . . .
me:no
p:(similiar questions forever)
me:no mam
P: Have you been drinking or taking illegal drugs
me: no (huh. . .o right I'm 18 in the middle of the night)
P:Where are you coming from?
me: The edge of Pearland (thinking saying my gf's house prolly increases that whole stereotype thing, and you know what she prolly think I be doing, cuz I"m a dumb 18 year old in the middle of the night)
(I think there's some line or 2 in here)
P:Could you step out of the car
me: yes mam
P: HAve you had any alchohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medicines,
me: no mam
P: I'm not entirely sure I believe you
me: alright (in my perky work tone, that I use a lot, makes me feel kind of funny saying it to the cop, but I mean I understand not believing me damn stereotype why can't everyone be good kids like me lol)
So we wait on her partner to get there she puts a flashlight in my eyes, and does the pen sobriety to test or whatever it's called, goes and talks with her cop friend I'm thinking I did fine, cuz you can't fail unless you try to, or your on somthing right, well apparently not fine enough they take me over to the parking lot drive one car around, shine the headlights in my face and have me do walking stuff like putting one foot in front of the other, some stuff that was like marching all over again so I know I did perfectly and was afraid to say why, but I was tired and freaking out about the ticket not really worried about the drug stuff. So the cop asked
P: Is there any reason, your reacting like your on drugs
me: umm. . .I don't think so. . . . . . . I. . .haven't eaten much today
P: (instantly)Nope that doesn't effect the tests.
me: (hesitantly) ok
So she goes off her partner watches me and askes me what I was doing she seemed nice, and so I was like well maybe I can get pity points cuz I was driving home someone who couldn't drive so I say
me: I was driving my gf home cuz she just had her wisdom teeth removed and was on medication and couldn't drive. (Apparently that was wrong answer too)
Then I asked if I could call my parents to tell them I was gonna be late, and she said just don't put your hands in your pockets I'm freaking out and so I think she said as long as it in your pockets I start to put my hands in, and realize what she said,
Then she asked if I was on anything, and I said no , then she was like well then why does it look like your falling asleep my first thought was, it's how late at night, and my second there's no way I'm about to fall asleep I'm more jumpy than who knows what and I'm freaking out, what is she talking about, but I say I don't know
So then they let me back to the car I realize my cell's there not in my pocket anyways
So when her partner came back she told her, what I said and she said she thought I was lying, and couldn't drive home I had to get both my parents up here, cuz they had to take the car back for me, So I call my dad tell him I got a ticket and he needs to pick up me and the car, and they won't let me drive home, then hang up the cop was like does he know that both parents need to come call back real fast tell him, and he's got to wake up my mom cuz it's now 11 somthing and she has to be at work at 4 am I didn't say anything about drugs, cuz there was no way I could sound serious about it, and the cop #2 was like well you haven't gotten a ticket yet.
My dad gets there, and was like why were you speeding I'm like umm I don't know (why does anyone speed, what I hadn't realized is he was thinking I was going like 80 to not be able to drive home.)
So the lady is like I think he's on drugs, he can't drive home, there are now two totally different responses my mom was awesome, normally I hate when she argues with people, but this cop woke her up and thoroughly enjoyed it she's like I know he's not on anything he's been with me the whole time and my dad was like why did you decide he was on drugs was he driving hectic, nope he was driving entirely normal just speeding, both my parents later were like then why did you think he was on drugs, one of my parents commented and she was like well lets just say we gave him the soriety test and lets just say he didn't do so well, she also earlier asked why my eyes and behavior were the way they were. So I"m asuming it's the dang eye one, not sure why either nervous, which a lot of people I'ld imagine are and should be acounted for, or my light eyes, I don't know. So my mom was like ok then take him to the station and my dad must of asked me like 3 times if I was on anything, and I was like, at first you know I figured ok the cop said I was he's just double checking then I thought he really believed the cop. The cop was like well what I think he's on we can't test for, cuz they thought I was on hydrocoding cuz when the other cop was asking what my gf had, I said that one sounded somewhat familiar.
So the cops were thourougly convinced I was on my gf's medication yet believed that I drived her home because she was on it and couldn't drive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the end I got a ticket for speeding, but the drugs were to minor of an offense to care about so I was allowed off even though I apparently was on drugs with out knowing I took anything, because speeding is much more dangerous then driving while your high.
