Talk about Luck

it just happened 30 min ago.  I was hungry and decided to go to McDanold.  On my way back, I saw the red and blue light flashing, lol.  The cop pulled me over and asked me show id, registration and insurance.  Well, I havent paid the DMV for the renewal of registration yet and I dont have insurance.  I was like, dam, Mcdanald might cost me couple hundreds.  I showed him my id and the expired registration I have and told him right away that I did pay the DMV and I've been waiting for DMV to send back my sticker.  He told me he pulled me over bc of my expired registration and asked me when did I pay the DMV? I lied, I said last friday, in fact I havent paid it yet, lol.  After checking my id for 5 min, he let me go without a ticket and he also forgot about my insurance.  OMG, I feel so lucky today.

OMG - you are not kidding Taaadaaa.

You are very lucky. 

This was a warning sign - get it sorted or next time "you're nicked".  I hope you are paying it today.

That was lucky indeed TAAADAAA.

That would of been an ugly ticket to have to deal with.

I know how hard it is to pay those DMV fees, and insurance.  They just are huge, but try to get it straightened out when you can.  Wouldnt want you to have any additional trouble.

Hi Taaa,

I love those kind of good luck days. You must have a face of innocence!! It feels good to everyone once in awhile to beat the system. A lucky day indeed!! I hope your day is topped off with a big win too!

yeah, I thought I would have to walk home and walk to the bank later to ask for a loan to pay for the ticket, lol.

my lisence plate has my school sticker read as "proud to be UCSD", so he problly knew that I'm a poor student and gave me a break, lol.

How lucky can you get!! This day and age they give you tickets for everything, i had a calif cop one time pull my tints off my windows, i was mad.

And to top it off you didn't have insurance... boy was YOU lucky..

A long LONG time ago, i was a teenager lol, to drive my car i took some tags off another car and put it on mine... oh how bad i was but it worked for a year lol

Times like this....makes me wish if I had lots of money so I can give them to people who needs...
Lucky indeed and wish you will soon be able to take care of everything, needed to be done.

ME TOO...

In the UK if you have no insurance, they crush your car for you into a nice metal cube.  No second chances - its crushed no matter what.

:o

Dont anyone be caught "driving dirty" in the UK. WOW.....

I have gotten off a couple of times, just by being honest.  If you can lie and make it look like you are being honest, more power to you. 

I got pulled over with an open container of beer, that I admitted I was chugging.  You see, I stopped off the highway to get a burger and fries, but to find out, their "combo" meals don't come with a drink. 

About 3/4 way through the double burger and waffle cut fries, I started to gasp,  I needed something to drink!  Looked around and realized that I had brought a six pack of tall cans with me, sitting warm on the back seat.  I started to throw one back when I saw the red and blue lights.  My heart was in my throat.  Here I am driving a sports car, chugging a beer.  So I try to put it on the floor and shift my gears to slow down, but I spill the beer.  Now, my whole car looks and smells like a bar.

He asked for my license and regist...then stopped and said "you've been drinking, son"?
I said, "Yes"  he said, "why" 

I told him I got a burger from the Blustery Burger and he said, "man, that's my favorite place" he knew that you don't get a drink with the combo, and that it was choke to death or swig some warm sunny beer.....He said, "why does it smell so bad in here"?  I told him, "I was trying to hide the beer from you and it spilled"!  He said, "you gonna have any more"?  I said no, and he said go...and keep your speed down, you were doing 71 in a 55.

I think that officers don't like being lied to, or made to feel stupid.

And people in the US say our laws are "Too strict"...Love to see that here...Ohhh..smash up that 6 month old new car...hee hee hee hee hee

They show a lot of UK cop shows over here and if you have either no insurance, no road tax or no MOT - its crushed.  You used to get 7 days to produce docs. but they stopped that because nobody really cared enough. 

There  was a £100k Merc. that they were going to crush but it didn't belong to the driver so they took it away and told the owner - you have one week to collect it or its crushed. 

Needless to say the driver did produce all his documents and collected his car in time.

not too soon, wait till I buy insurance, lol.

Just joined LCB  and finding my way round site.

I've never had any luck

Fingers crossed for your luck to change 

Welcome to LCB. If you have any questions we are happy to help you. 

I have very selective luck. I am lucky in games and arguments, but I will hit/slip/fall/stumble and so on, even out of the blue, and all this in 5 minutes. I almost died once because I choked on air.
