For the second night in a row, I got pulled over. Not late to work this time, though. Left plenty early because I thought I had to get dinner, but someone sweet had left a lunch type thing in the fridge for me, so I was up fifteen minutes earlier than necessary (bad), and that time got transferred to the sheriff (lucky?).
70 in a 60. I don't think I was quite going 70, but he didn't cite me for "too fast for conditions" so who's bitching? Nice guy, just like the two from last night. Also just like last night, the issues of "who owns this vehicle" and "what's up with your insurance" arose. Apparently the legal record for my vehicle shows something like I sold it... to myself recently. Baffles those sworn to protect and serve just as well as it does me.
Unlike last night, I got a ticket this time. According to officer friendly (no sarcasm intended) there's some new procedure called a "diversion" that allows you to either take a discount on the ticket or costs an extra $50, I was unclear on which. That's not the important part of the procedure, though. The part that matters is that the new option somehow makes the ticket none of your insurance company's business - it doesn't even show up on your record. Sweet! I'll have to look into it. Hopefully it's nothing like a lead foot discount, but that's a story for another time.
Right now, it's sleep time. 22 hours is a long day.

You keep this up and you might get court ordered to go back to drivers education.
So I took it upon myself to look into this "diversion program." After an exhaustive 45 seconds spent scanning search results, I found two things. Most of the results from Spokane were for drug charges (is there something you need to tell us). I did find something in Oregon about a program for traffic violations. It's essentially traffic school. You pay the ticket, pay the tuition, and if you're clean for 3-6 months, the ticket doesn't show up on your record.
Silly boy. I told you to drive safely.
That's right...it was a "lead-foot-discount!"
