Why is it that all I hear is *whinge whinge farking whinge* I lost my licence once, I learnt my lesson and have never been fined or even pulled over apart from the odd RBT since.
As for the point of the Highway patrol guys not letting Soulblighter drive home, If you had a crash, Unregistered and un-insured when the police knowingly let you go, could you imagine the shit storm that would occur?
I completely understand why they didn't, and if I were a cop I wouldn't do it either, No way would I stick my neck out for something like that, just because somebody I'd just pulled over, "SAID" they had just gotten out of hospital or I forgot etc, for all he knew you were flat out lying though your teeth just trying to get out of it.
