I just got pulled over last night for my headlights being off. now i remember turning them on, and i go up to wendys wich is 5 mins from my house. on the way back i get pulled over and sure enough my headlights arnt on, just my parking lights, now i drive a 240sx and u know how the pop up lights stay poped up if u go from normal lights to parking lights, so i guess i must have hit the switch for lights when i changed lanes or somthing bc i had no idea my lights were off, and there were enough cars on the road where i really couldnt tell. well i get pulled over and he tells me that my lights werent on and im like ohh im sorry sir i thought they were on, and then flip them on fully. so he goes back to the police car thinking he is running my name to make sure i dont have any warrents, well he comes back with a Fing ticket, what a A$$hole. he couldnt of just told me to turn them on or somthing, so now i have to go to court bc im under 18 and do all this other **** and its just a hassel for somthign that was a totall acciadent and the guy couldnt of been nice, he had to be a *** hole.

sorry for venting here, i just have no one else to vent to right now.

IT'll be easy to work this one down, and it'll be a good learning experience if you've never been into the court system before.

Guess what happened to me about an hour ago? I got pulled over for no headlights. I had accidentally left the parking lights on. So I pulled out the store parking lot and I drove about 100 feet. Then I saw a police car. I looked at him and kept driving. I was just about to turn the corner and go into the gas station wehn I looked into my mirror and noticed him turning around. I was like Oh **** what did I do now. I pulled into the gas station and rolled down the windows. He told me why he pulled me over and I showed him that my lights worked. He asked for my liscense and reg., but I didnt have theregestration since it was my moms car. He then asked me if I had any outstanding tikets or fines. Then I froze. About 4-5 months ago I had gotten two tickets(1 for doing 73 in a 55 and the other for driving after hours) at the same time. The thig was that the court date was schedued for a saturday(court's closed on sat.) I went anyway and the door was locked. I never followed up on the tickets. I waited till I turned 18 to see if they'll send me my new license. Well they did, but I nver checked up on if I would get in any trouble. Anyway I gave him the license and 3 minutes later he came back and told me not to forget again. Whew! Im glad that I got pulled over. That ticket must of been thrown out.
