No You Turn
Posted in Neutral on Feb 10th, 2009
I tend to ride like a bat out of hell and I’ve been saying lately that I’m lucky I haven’t gotten pulled over for it yet. I’ve had a feeling that there’s a ticket floating around out there with my name on it and it’s getting closer. Well, it found me yesterday: I got a ticket.
The crazy, stupid, ironic part about it is that, for all the speeding and mirror-shaving that I do on the bike, I got this ticket in my car. For turning right on a red light, to add insult to injury. There are maybe 2 intersections in all of California where you can’t turn right on a red light, and I managed to find one of them, time it so the light was red when I get there, and turn in front of a cop. Go figure…
I see a court date in my future. Cross your fingers that he doesn’t show up…
