Driver Improvement Class Part 1
On August 26, 2009 I "failed to stop at red traffic signal before right turn" and got a ticket for it. My defense was that I did stop, but it wasn't a complete stop, they refer to it as "a rolling stop" I call it a pause. Frankly, I didn't know you had to stop at the red light before turning right. I mean it is common sense to stop and make sure no cars are coming, but I didn't know you had to treat it like a stop sign. So yea, officer jerk stopped me and proceeded to write up a 90 dollar ticket and it comes with 2 points on your license. TWO POINTS!! What is this nonsense? I was upset. So of course I had to go to court and fight it. I can't have two points on my license. Cause unfortunately, I already had one. The judge was very merciful and allowed me to take a driver improvement class in order to get rid of the two points. I was excited and agreed right away.
Little did I know that this class was 6 hours total, 2 days. Still, I thought it was fair enough. Then I have to pay 70 dollars for the course. Ok, still fair. I finally started the class on Monday, I wanted to pass out. That class is soooo boring! I mean, we spent an hour talking about how drugs affect your driving. REALLY? An hour on drugs? I'm not stupid to not know what drugs do to your mind. Obviously. And guess what? If you drink and drive, you may have an accident. NO Kidding? This is BRAND NEW INFORMATION! Seriously, this class is torturous. I fell asleep on my desk for 10 mins. I couldn't believe it. I woke up and the retired police officer was still going on and on about drugs.
Today is the second and last day. Another 3 hours of mind-boggling common sense facts. Then we have a test and we get a certificate for completing the course. Thanks a lot PG county.
