...the Move Over Law
and
you should always check your blind spot.
Also, it is never a good idea to cut right in front of a highway patrolman because he will feel compelled to give you a ticket.
Well, at least the one I cut in front of today felt bad about giving me a ticket. I really think he didn't want to do it. He was very kind about the whole thing and looked truly said when he said, "I'm sorry I have to give you a citation, but I really have to since you almost drove me off the road." When I told him it was only the second ticket I've gotten in all my years of driving, he told me I can probably get it dropped with a "prayer for judgement." I hope so.
And about that Move Over Law violation...It wasn't me. Really. It was another family member, who perhaps felt a little better today after his mother got a ticket the same week he did.
Thankfully, the one who really should have gotten a ticket for driving a rattle-trap truck that would never pass inspection 700 miles across three states this past weekend made it back to college...even though the gas tank sprung a leak 150 miles from his destination. Don't think he'll be borrowing that truck again.
That's enough driving excitement for one week. Think I'll stay home tomorrow....

So sorry to hear about the tickets - I received one for speeding - the officer asked why - I told him I was looking at the beautiful autumn leaves and didn't notice the speed limit. That fine has helped me pay attention to speed zones ever since :)
And now that I've commiserated with you on the ticket, I'm going to join you in baby worship - oops - right - I'm not supposed to do that. Baby admiration then. How's that? oh.my.goodness. is there anything sweeter than those chubby liitle legs in her bathing suit. I even want to type baby talk...
sigh
will you pray that my kids come through with a baby for me while I'm young enough to enjoy him or her?
*grin*
Soak up every baby loving minute!
