And the day started out so well...

The day started out with "Hush" and "Once More With Feeling" on FX. Got to see all the way though Tara's song before I had to leave for work. And then...I got pulled over for "speeding and not using the right lane". The cop waved the speeding fee (I had my cruse control set!)...but still. The thing is that I thought about moving into the right lane, but there were cars up ahead, so I decided that it would be better not to move over just to move back, espcially b/c it near an on ramp and the roads were wet. Is really really shitty. I was shaking/half crying all the rest of the way to work. At least I got to work on time. This really was the LAST thing I needed!

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And whats with all the carrots
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway

Bunnies, bunnies
It must be bunnies!

get used to cops. they are a fact of life. when you blow a tire or go off the road, you will be glad they are around.

yeah the speeding thing sux but that happens to everyone sometimes. the "not using the right lane" thing is odd, though; i've never heard of anyone getting pulled over for that. seems like the cop was kinda stretching for a reason, there..

sadly enough, failure to stay to the right is a ticketable offense... but cops usually only cite it when they've already got you for something else, or it's the end of the month...
which, is prolly why our dear sweet law abiding safe driving athene was pulled over in the first place.
dang quotas!

You hit the nail on the head. The cop was caught without a ticket. He had spent the time to pull my daughter over for speeding to only find out that the cruise control was set. Obviously, he was a bit miffed and found a different rule to go by. This is is a case of where the rules are there because they seem to make sense, but in actually driving on the right might not always be the safest thing to do.
