Here is the scenario: I borrow Scott Klines trailer to bring my car home last month. Everything works out great. The following week I take it back to him. On the way there I am begining to start my merge left as the 60 and the I-5 split is getting pretty close, maybe 3-5 miles away (remember this is L.A. traffic so you need to start planning alot sooner). I'm doing exactly 50 mph. CHP pulls me over. I'm nice (really didn't know why he stopped me). I ask, "Is there a problem?". He says, "I stopped you because you are pulling a trailer in the number 2 lane". I say "Oh. I didn't know it was illegal". He asks for the usual paperwork and walks back to his car. I sit and wait for almost 10 minutes while he does all of his "Wants & Warrants" checks. I'm thinking everything is in order so he'll give me a warning and I'll be on my way. Comes back with ticket book in hand and tells me he's going to cite me, "FUCH!!!. I remain polite and sign the ticket. Guess what came in the mail yesterday?????

HOLY SHIT!
I am so damn glad I got the hell out of that state when I did! Damn, I forgot to buy a tag for my trailer for two years because I seldom use it and had cops ride along behind me and never even pull me over... Then one day I get popped and the cop walks up and says "did you know your tag is 2 years out of date" I replied that I did know it but really needed to use the trailer and I'd get it taken care of Monday morning- sir... He gave me a verbal warning and sent me on my way..... |
