I guess there is a first for everything
When it comes to traffic summons, i'm actually quite used to getting them. There was a time when receiving summons became sort off like a hobby. I'd proudly pin up all the paid receipts on the tack board of my cubicle in the office. Cummatively, if i gave all that money to a charity organization i'm sure they would have been able to feed or educate a few at least.
But today, was a new one for me.
Right after dropping Aji off at the crowded, messy and noisy Pudu bus station i was slowly inching my way through traffic trying to get back home when i got a phone call. This is where we'll all note that i lost my mobile headset last month. So yes, i got pulled over by a cop in fake RBs on a cloudy day for talking on a handphone while driving.
I, graciously admitted to my mistake. Even though I did that he was giving me a lot of slack about not obeying the law and getting off on being able to lecture me and hold up more traffic. After awhile, and i'm sure the only reason it moved on was because i didnt know how to say 'i'm admitting i made a mistake what the @#$%^&*&^%$ are you giving me a lecture for you poser copper who stopped me for talking on my mobile while driving even though i was moving slower then most people would walk" in Malay, i asked him if he wanted to see my drivers license and he proceeded to write me what i thought was my summon. So i'll pay the fine and be cautious the next time my phone rings while i'm driving.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
I got a summon to appear in traffic court two months from now. TRAFFIC COURT!
My mom erupted into a minor fit when she heard. Because according to the new ruling the maximum charge for this offence is 3000 bucks.
THREE THOUSAND BUCKS!
And to think i was fretting over another 200 buck summon.
This is when i spend the rest of the evening in bed.
*sniff*
