Friday afternoon, much on my mind, I made an illegal turn at an intersection. The turn was OK unless done between certain hours, which, of
course, is when I did it.
Anyway, the cop chased me down, and I turned into the bank parking lot where I had been going anyways, since I didn't know he was after me. OK, call me stupid, but after he turned on the lights in the P/L I got the message. I motioned him that I would move my car out of the teller lane into an unused part of the lot.
Still clueless, I exited my car and walked into a message "PLEASE REMAIN IN YOUR CAR SIR!".
OK, sez I. Gave him the required ID, insurance stuff, etc. Cop sez: "D'Ye know why I stopped ye?" Me, still clueless "No, I don't, officer."
LEO: "Sir you made an illegal turn, based upon the time you made it".
Me: "Well, that was stupid of me, especially since you were right behind me..."
LEO returns to his car, runs me, and returns after a while. I am resigned, given the time elapsed, that I have now received a ticket.
Surprise. LEO sez:"Sir, I'm giving you a break, this is a warning only."
Me: "Thank you officer, that is very kind of you, have a nice day".
And I hope he did.
