I've gotten two tickets...one speeding, one parking.

The speeding tickets was doing 69 in a 55 when I was 17. Ihad left volleyball practice, was trying to run into to order our Senior Volleyball shirts, then make it home to get ready for senior night at the football game. I didn't get the shirts ordered that night....


The parking ticket was at college. I was down over the summer with my mom to get books or something for the coming year, and parked at a meter. I ut money in, but it wasn't clear which meter was for which spot, so I put it in the wrong meter. I tried to argue the ticket, but they told me there was nothing they could do with metered spots.


I've been pulled over a few other times...once for pushing a yellow light in a small town (Cedarville, Ohio). I think it was the closest thing the cop would see to action in a months time. Once because it sounded like my muffler had a hole (ironically, Memorial Day weekend AND graduation weekend my senior year. I think the cop saw 4 teenage girls in a car and was checking to see if we were drinking). The other time I had gone to Findlay to play softball, then stopped by my parents. As I was leaving to head back to Toledo, I got stopped for turning off their street too wide?!? The cop was asking me why I was in town and where I was headed...he sorta let me go pretty quick when he saw the engagement ring...hmmmmm....no tickets from any of those.
