Scofflaw

I finally ran afoul of the police with my crazy foreign way of driving. After a 10 mile high speed chase.... well, maybe I just made a right turn on a red light downtown where I wasn't supposed to. Funny thing is, I was going to make an illegal u-turn, but I saw a cop car up at the intersection, so I went up to the light and turned right.

It was embarrassing when I dropped my license, too when I tried to hand it to the nice police officer. He just glanced at the license and registration and made sure I felt properly chagrined.

When I pulled away, I was so nervous about doing something else wrong, I went down another street I didn't want, and had to get on the highway, exit onto another highway, then take a scenic tour of a bad part of town with very narrow streets.

And all we wanted to do was get out of the house and look at the Christmas lights. That'll teach us!
