You know the saying "bad things happen in 3's"? Well, I at least got 2 out of 3 happen within a week..
The first thing was bull shit in my eyes, not theirs though I guess.. I was riding along, kinda lookin around more than I should have because I almost hit this guy in front of me because of not paying attention. This part I know I was wrong. I avioded him by going to the right, and breaking as hard as I could without doing a stoppie. I let out the break after I was halfway by him, so I would of hit him if I had not went around. I continued to go like normal. He followed me until I got downtown. I guess he called the police, told them that I was carelessly driving, peeling out at stop lights, following too closely, and doing crazy speeds (75+ in a 45). I dont recall my exact speeds on that day, but it was not more than 10 over the speed limit. I never speed through town because there are way too many cops around, and if I would of gotten a ticket for any reason, I would lose my license for a year. I sometimes get on it hard until the speed limit, but I wouldnt call it "carelessly driving".
The cop told me that he said I passed him on the right, like you would on the left in a passing zone. Complete bull shit. I told the cop my side, and she was like whatever here is your ticket for careless driving. 3 points.
Then, a week later, as I'm going to pay this ticket I just explained.. I get pulled over again. This cop was following me a few cars back (I never saw him, I look behind quite often to make sure no cops are around before I get on it) Right before I turned onto this road, I stood up on my pegs to adjust myself. 5 seconds maybe with no hands. Anyway, I punched it when turned at this light, and the next thing I know as I slowed down because of traffic, a cop is behind me with his lights on. This guy was cool, (as he could be) we talked, I tried to talk my way out of it but he came back with a careless driving ticket. He said that he should of given me a wreakless driving ticket instead (which is automatic suspension and more $$) so I just took it and left.
So yeah, I wont be legal for awhile..
