In early December of 2008, I was driving to Pennsylvania to visit my boyfriend. I was just dumped out onto Route-202 in New Jersey, behind someone in a crappy car, so I started passing them. I was still going well under the speed limit, but he sped up to make things difficult. Instead of speeding up too, I just slowed down and got ready to go back behind him.. because I didn't want to get pulled over!

Well! A cop still pulled me over. Reason? "I don't know about Connecticut, but in New Jersey we are not allowed to travel in the left lane." Rather than argue with him about how I ended up in the left lane, I said something similar to, "Oh, I'm sorry. I won't do that again." Submissive but not too kiss-ass because I really hate kissing ass but I also hate tickets.

Either way, he took my information and did his thing in his car, whatever it is they do. Verify I am not a criminal? Something like that.

He came back to my vehicle, handed me my license, then my registration/insurance info which I keep in an envelope in my glove box. He said, "I'm not going to give you a ticket, because you are young and you don't have a record at all - no need to raise your insurance rates... just stay out of the left lane for anything other than passing."

I flipped through my info to make sure both parts were in the envelope, thanked him, and pulled out and continued my drive.

Until today, when I get a letter from New Jersey court saying I failed to appear at 7am on January 21st. I was quite confused, as I had never gotten any piece of mail from them until now.

So what did the cop REALLY do? He pretended he was a really understanding and nice cop, and completely lied to me, and slipped the court request/ticket in the middle fold of my registration paper, where I would not see it unless I took it out.

So now I can either pay $95 to New Jersey before August 5th, or I'm a wanted criminal or whatever bullshit threatening term the paperwork said.

How fucked up is that? All this for "traveling" in the left lane.

Is anyone still out there?

That whole broken up thing didn't last very long.

We went to some buggery places... You New-Milfers would recognize some of them, I'm sure.

What happens in Hartford on New Years Eve, anyway?
