The wings won the cup tonight, so I was driving a friend of mine home in my roommate's car; it has a bike rack, mine doesn't we needed it. We had had a few over a few hours, and I was the only one in any condition to drive. I ran a red light, I couldn't stop in time and about 3 miles later I got pulled over. The cop said I ran the light, and my roommate didn't have proof of insurance on him. It looked pretty bad.
I didn't get a ticket!!! I was so suprised!!! I drove very carefully for the duration of the trip and arrived home without incident. This is the second time I've been pulled over for running a light and haven't gotten a ticket, and the first time my roommate's car has ever been pulled over. I'm really lucky.
To those of you who want to flame me for DUI: I wasn't over the legal limit. I am 21, and had 3 beers in 4 hours, so I know I wasn't over the legal limit. The road was wet, and that is why I ran the light. I usually drive a 2555lb impreza, which I could have stopped for the light, but the 3500lb monte carlo I was driving wouldn't have stopped until the middle of the intersection. That is why I didn't get a ticket. It was an honest mistake and at least the cop was nice enough to realize that. I'll be driving a bit more carefully around here from now on.
