One Less Traffic Ticket

If you’re like me, which might be a curse, you’re probably sick of getting traffic tickets for harmless actions. I’m not talking about the dangerous stuff like screaming through a school zone doing 90 mph. No, I’m referring to the benign stuff like parking the wrong way, facing nose-in instead of nose-out (which will cost you $43 where I live).

One of the most harmless maneuvers is the U-turn. As a former driving instructor I can attest that illegal U-turns are actually good because they cut down on the distance you travel, thus saving gas, which is good for the environment. But when a cop pulls you over, just try asking him “What’s the problem, dude, do you hate the environment or something?”

Bad idea. In Texas that’ll get you a roadside cavity search that’s seen by fellow drivers and creeps who watch dashboard-cam videos online. No, you need a better way to convince the officer that your U-turn was justified. Fortunately, I found the perfect solution the other day:

Yup, print this page, cut out the photo, and laminate it. Keep it in the glove box and show it to the officer that pulls you over.  I’m fairly certain it’ll work.
