I just feel like keeping tabs on how many times I have been pulled over by police since starting to drive:
Number One: After being in a car crash (partners car) and heading home (in my own car) I was pulled over for a random breathalyzer and was told to take my tow ball off because they couldn’t read my number plate clearly. PASS
Number Two:Driving to give blood at the blood donation centre, they drove up beside me while I was in the traffic lights line and told me to pull over. After going through the green light, I pulled over, only to have them harass me about “being on my phone”. I told them that I wasn’t, and to go ahead and check my phone, which they did I hadn’t done anything for about 4 hours. He then persisted to ask me “well, why did you have your hand up to your ear”.. which I continuously told him “I wasn’t on my phone!, and didn’t have my hand up to my ear!”…. after realising his decided to stop harassing me, the other officer gave me a breathalyzer. (that guy was a real arse! and I didn’t NOTHING wrong which annoyed me even more) PASS
Number Three: Driving home from work at 11:30pm on a Wednesday night, I was pulled over for a random breathalyzer. They were also pulling other cars over as it was a Wednesday night, and Wednesday is club nights at uni.
Number Four: Driving to work LAST NIGHT. I went passed the cops who were sitting at a red light, I accelerated quickly to 60 as I was worried I was going to be late for work. As soon as the cops got their green light they race down towards me and I was just about to pull into work and they put their lights on. I told the officer that I was just about to go to work, and he asked for my licence and it was alllllllll good. PASS
I’ve only been driving for..2 years and 8 months… = )
