Well it's a story about not paying attention to the details.
Seems I don't have a license plate on the front of the Chevy. I knew this of course and carry the plate in the front seat with me. The truck came from Arizona with my wife in 2000 and they don't require a front plate. Since she arrived I've been meaning to put a bracket on the bumper and mount that plate, I guess the inevitable finally happend. I showed him the plate and he seemed OK with that, then asked for my proof of insurance. Feeling very good about this request I whipped it out of my wallet and handed it over. He says "OK Hang on" and goes back to his squad.
Mean while the train I have been chasing and trying to catch at Soo Line Jct goes rolling past, oppurtunity now gone for that location.
Officer X comes back and says this card expired October the 18th and seeing as this is October 22nd your in violation. Issue one citation!!
After arriving home yesterday I see the current card sitting in the spot I put it so as not to FORGET to put it in my wallet. Getting old is a terrible thing
At least the fix for the no proof is an easy one and it will not reflect as a moving violation. I have no complaints with St. Pauls Finest as he was just doing his job and I must admitt he was very pleasent about it.
Like I said at the top.............The Moral of the story is "Pay attention to the details"
