Today on the way home I ran a red/stop light and I got stopped for it. Stuff was on my mind and I just went right on through the intersection and ran that light. It’s been awhile since I have been pulled over by the police and I did get a citation/ticket. Oh well, life goes on and my wallet gets dinged for a fine.

Be thankful you are white. It could have been drastically different if you were not. Be safe. Hugs
So glad it was just a ticket. Not an accident. Not a crazy cop acting weird. Glad you didn’t hurt anyone else — because that would be worse than any of it! So glad it was just a fine. God bless my friend. And so grateful you’re not angry or upset about it but sharing it and finding a the silver lining anyways. Hugs.
Baby, it happens. I’ve been there. Being lost in thought is a good thing. But when driving…. we’ll keep focus. So glad you’re okay. And even more excited that you are in a place of goodness and joy about this ticket. Money ain’t nothin’ but a thing… I hope your thoughts are glorious and informative of what’s next. xo.

I’d rather read this than learn that you ran the light and got into an accident… Sucks for the wallet, though 😉 xx

I agree with some comments that it was a ticket, not an accident. 🙂

And I agree with Miriam. That happens all the time here. When I drove a large bus full of kids it happened a lot at four way stops.

Take care, dear friend. Our mind can sometimes play tricks on us and we leave reality a bit.
