Yesterday the police talked about what happened, what you should do when you are driving. He was talking about traffic law.
If you see a school bus with blinking lights you should stop. If you do not stop you get a ticket for $300.
The police officer was talking about when if a person drinks one beer they should wait 1 hour before driving. If it is 5 ounces of wine or a shot of tequila a person should wait one and one half hours. Don’t drink and drive. An accident could happen. You can get arrested. You could go to jail. The ticket is big like $1,000.
Children need seat belts and car seats. If the child is 4 years or 40 pounds, 6 years old or 60 pounds in a booster they need a special seat. A person 60 pounds and up needs a seat belt. That’s the law. The fine is $500.
If you no have insurance on your car the ticket is $1,200.
If you don’t pay your ticket on time it is more money. Sometimes you can make a payment plan and pay a little bit each month.
If you don’t have your driver’s license with you the ticket is $20. But, with the fix-it ticket you can go to the police department, show them your license and not have to pay.
If the lights are not working you have 21 days to fix the lights and pay the fine, then go to the police station and have the police check off the lights.
In a school zone you should drive slowly and carefully, 25 mph.
When you are driving your shouldn’t talk on your cell phone. Teresa was talking on the phone and the ticket was $140. Poor Teresa. Teresa was embarrassed because she knew the policeman. He gave her the ticket
What happens when you are stopped? Are the police nice or angry?
