Sounds like she was in a nasty mood (may be a permanent condition).

I was stopped when all I had was an older insurance cert. Just didn't get around to putting the new one in. He said "No problem" and looked me up in his cruiser computer and told me that my insurance as up to date.

Connecticut really keeps tabs on your insurance. You drop it and they know immediately.

See Texas has something similar to that. I know because I let the insurance lapse on my scooter and I got a letter from the state basically saying I need to get insurance on it.

I've also been pulled over in the past and didn't have my current insurance paperwork and the cop just simply asked if the car was still being paid off since he knew as long it's financed then by law I have to have full coverage or wouldn't have been able to even buy the car.

But I guess on this most recent occasion she was looking to give me as many tickets as possible since I was that guy using the turn lane as a passing lane. Which I still say wouldn't have had to happen if the guy in the left lane wasn't going 5 miles under the speed limit which just so happened to be the exact same speed as the person in the right lane. Imagine that.

Geez I hate driving. Just typing about it makes me annoyed.

^The time of the month you got the ticket can also play a role. Cops have to meet a quota by the end of the month, so that's usually when they're the biggest assholes. That was my case for the ticket that got dropped instantly (issued on 5/28/10).

And maybe your issuing cop was also having her own time of the month at the same time...
