I’ll get pulled over today
I moved out of my old apartment almost two years ago, but I’ve yet to bother getting a new driver’s license. It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, either. I simply haven’t gotten all the pieces together at the same time. Because the driver’s license office doesn’t accept credit/debit cards, I have to remember a checkbook. I’m annoyed to say I was there just last week but sans checkbook and debit card. Grumble.
But since someone told me the fine for not updating your license ranges in the $500 range, I am now making the update a priority; I’m going on my way home today, which means I’ll likely be pulled over this afternoon.
Incidentally, what an odd colloquialism, “pulled over.” Looking at it, I’m realizing how little meaning it has. The police “pull you over.” How do they “pull” you at all?
