| | Grace comes in many forms on Easter, including some that are unexpected.
While on my way to church yesterday morning, the nice police officer with the radar gun wanted to have a chat with me. I was doing the equivalent of 35 mph in a 30 mph zone, and two of them were pulling in car after car.
He asked to see my documents (you must always have ownership papers with you when you drive). Those I had with me. Things got a little sticky, however, when he asked for my driver's license, which was sitting at home. He decided to let me go home and get it. I returned with it in a few minutes. Fortunately, the police officer did not speak English, so he did not see the section where it said the expiration date was two months ago (I can't renew until I return to America next month). He examined them and told me he was going to have to write a ticket. I said I understood, and then he let me off with a warning. So, I was driving without my license, which was expired anyway, and he let me off.
This means I have still have never received a speeding ticket. I have only gotten one prior to this, and on appeal the judge overturned the ticket.
