1- It's ugly
2- It means I am only half way to Salt Lake
3- Cops
So about 2 weeks ago I was driving to SLC, and passing through Ogden. I am coughing my head off, look up in my rearview mirror to see a car is on my butt, and so I hurry and get over (without signaling). Next thing I know lights are flashing. I am getting pulled over. I am freaking out because I don't know why I am being pulled over...I know I am not speeding. I get over to the side of the road, and Officer Notsofriendly approaches my car. He tells me that he clocked me going 80 mph and that I did not signal. In my head I am thinking, did he really just pull me over for going 5 miles over the speed limit? Wow, he must not have anything better to do. So then he asks me how my driving record is. I tell him that it is good, and that I have no tickets, thinking I am getting brownie points and am going to get out of this. Boy was I wrong. He reappears at my car and tells me that I was going 15 mph over the speed limit! I was like what?! I was only going 80! He then told me that the speed limit changed to 65 a half mile ago! 1/2 mile people! EWWWWWWW! I am so bugged. Then he is like I will give you a break and only cite you for 10 over, and a warning on the failure to signal. I was like whatever, thank you, and goodbye! Don't worry the story does not end there. Today I call to pay the ticket, and the lady is like you can't pay it until you provide proof of insurance. Um, hi. I totally gave the cop my insurance and he did not put it in the system! I am IRATE at this point. So she is like you have to come to Ogden to show us proof. Great. It is not like it's finals week and I have nothing better to do. Then I ask her how much my ticket was going to be, she replies $165! WTF?! "WHY?" I ask her and she goes on to tell me that I got cited for speeding, and for not signaling. The stupid cop lied to me! Ew... I hate him. Not only did he not put down my insurance, but he totally lied to me! So I drove my booty down to Ogden to set up a court date to fight my ticket, because they would not set one up over the phone! EEEEEWWWWW! I have never disliked someone so bad! I hope he shoots himself in the foot. So my court date is January 6....pray for me! hahaha I am done venting now.
