I got pulled over…

I’ve been driving for a year, and today was the first day that I got pulled over by the police

Here in Germany we don’t have real american Police, we have military police, who have no control over the Germans, who often soar through our housing areas at whatever speed they feel neccessary.

As I have stated before, I drive an old car, and apparently my speedometer isn’t exactly the best, I know this is true about the gas gauge, but not the speedometer. I was going down hill apparently at 43 KPH in a 30 KPH zone, but my speedometer said 35, about 3 miles over the speed limit. Also, my tail light was out…don’t you usually get a warning for that.

This MP decided to give me two tickets, despite my cooperation, to keeping our nation safe. The problem I have with this is not that I didn’t do anything wrong, because I guess I was going fast in neutral down a hill despite what my speedometer said, but more that I get 4 points (of 12) of my license here, he said “about 2 for each.”

Military Police often get kids for not crossing at the cross walk at my school, despite my school’s problems with skipping and smoking (I see MPs drive by the smokers everyday) and drug usage…but I should’ve expected this, because after all I am an easy target.
