what it will cost us for the ticket Dave just got
for talking on his cell phone
while driving.
(yes, he knows it's against the law and yes, he has a blue tooth, but was driving our employees truck for one quick errand and his phone rang.......BUMMER.)
lesson to be learned.....IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.
Oh bummer! I wish it was a law here though-I've had lots of near misses with people chatting on their phones oblivious to the world around them.
ReplyDeleteArgh! How annoying he got a ticket for a 2 second call. Although I can tell you how annoyed I get when I see people here still on their phones. However it's when they're driving like jerkfaces that I get mad. I've had to do the 2 second answer...
ReplyDeleteOUCH! I didn't think there was a fine for a "first offense." I have to admit I've been a little lax about that myself lately. Lesson well learned. Sorry it cost you though. Dave, hang your head awhile. :o(

If it isn't a phone directly on their ear, it'll be a phone in their lap while texting....or an iphone on the internet...or a book they're reading as traffic putters along. Not that I've ever had a book open while driving...I wouldn't do that. Nor would I drive with my knee while eating with one hand and reaching in the backseat to hand a kid something either. I wouldn't do those things.
ReplyDeleteHey April,
ReplyDeleteErin got one here in town and it was only $88. Maybe Dave will be as lucky. When Erin got his he ran a stop sign, wasn't wearing a seat belt and on the phone. Only gave his a ticket for the phone!

ReplyDeleteI thought it was like $25...wow 200. Did you say who called? Was it you?
ReplyDeleteOK, I am a cops wife and got a $140.00 ticket for "asking" why I got pulled over and then arguing with the officer about it...I am still irritated!!! Sorry about your misfortune, it happens to the best of us!!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I cannot believe they gave you a ticket! Also a cops wife I got pulled over last friday night ( I was mortified!!) and it was such a lame offense, failure to use my turn signal...it , was 10 at night, I was coming off the freeway and was in the turning lane and nobody behind me...lame! anyways long story short as soon as I told him who my husband was he gave me my license back and let me go, its a professinal curtosy...that sucks you didn't get that!
ReplyDeleteAnd April that sucks! LOL thats a lot of aprons to sell to get $200!!!
