Imagine: You're driving down Caesar Chavez Avenue, the traffic is a little crazy, and your roommate is running late for work, all because of you. The light is green, the way is clear, and you make the most beautiful left hand turn you've made all day, smoothly shifting your gray, dented 1989 Nissan into second as you coast down Soto Ave. Then you hear the "woo woo" of the police motorcycle behind you, ask out loud "Is he after me?" and find that the answer is a definitive "Yes" as he pulls over behind you.
Thus the beginning of my day. Turns out there are signs "all over that intersection" (according to crabby cop guy) that say "No left turn before 9 am." So today I have been initiated into California's traffic offenders club. Not a membership I have willing accepted, but one I nonetheless possess. Too bad I couldn't have gotten the tears going on this one - it might have saved me a few points on my license and a mean look from The Terminator.
The funniest part of the whole incident was my roommates - three crammed in the back, one in front - documenting it via digital photography.
Here's to hoping the day can only get better. Have a great day and drive safe! :)
