Steve got a ticket Friday. Came in and gave me two tickets, one was a warning for changing lanes at 11pm without turning on his blinker with no other traffic on the road. The other was for not having his insurance documentation (which I have no idea why he didn't have his insurance.)

They give you 48 hours to get proof of insurance to the city clerk before your fined. So I thought I had until this afternoon (since the weekend didn't count).

So I got in there with the proof of insurance and the clerk points out the date...last THURSDAY. Steve got the ticket on Friday but apparently the officer wrote the date down wrong. I told the lady "He got this ticket on Friday!" She looked me right in the eye and said "No, he didn't...he got it on Thursday."

You know that sick feeling you get when you know you're right but can't prove it? I paid the fine.

I feel like crying.

The ticket didn't have a date on it?
