Things I learned this evening:
- It is illegal to ride a bicycle while wearing headphones on both ears.
- Riding with headphones, riding through a stop sign, and riding without a light at night each have a $122 fine.
- After resolving to end six years of not riding with a light (hey, I was a stupid teenager), the first night that you forget to bring your light will of course be the night that a police officer in a cruiser catches you committing all three of the above-mentioned violations at once.
- When said officer enlightens you about the finer points of the law, it's really hard to not look at that shiny badge on his uniform.
What a night. Thankfully, I got off with a warning.
Only a warning? Thats $366 of good luck for you. I'm pretty sure you can have one ear covered by a headphone if you still wanted to listen to music. did teh cop mention anything like that?
PS--the link you have on the sidebar about the guy whoproposed and got stood up...was a publicity stunt. totally fake. saw that on msnbc a while back.
wow... that must've been some fun times.
Wow, an IS presence in the comment room.
You fought the law...and the law lost.
You're very lucky. I got a bike ticket last summer for going through a stopsign. I fought the law, but the law won. *shakes fist*
I found the cops that pulled you over Al...
"Wow, an IS presence in the comment room."
