I pulled over, put on the dome light, got my DL and insurance papers. The officer explained that I had a headlight that was out. He ran my papers, asked if I had a gun. I replied "no sir". He gave me a warning and told me to fix the headlight. "I will get it fixed tomorrow", I promised.
I was back on the road and within two minutes I got lit up again. I thought that the officer forgot something, so I pulled over. I turned out it was a different officer. As he officer walked up I heard on his radio something about a headlight. I showed him my DL and he asked if I had gotten a ticket or warning. I told him that I got a warning. He let me go.
I continued home and about five minutes later I get lit up again. I rolled down my window, got out my DL and again turned on my dome light. When the officer got to the car I told him this was the third time I got stopped in the last five minutes. He asked me if I knew why and I told him because of a burned out headlight. He asked to see my DL and asked if I had got a warning or ticket. He told me that there were a lot of police on traffic patrol this evening [no kidding]. I told him that I had gotten a warning. He told me that since I was so polite, he would just give me a warning.
After that, I finally got home. All in all, the LEOs were very professional. Guess what I will be doing tomorrow?
