Comedy Traffic School Proves Not to be so Funny

It is no laughing matter.  

Yes.  I had to go to traffic school.  I stupidly (I blame new-mommy brain) make an illegal U-turn.  My defense is that it was a recent change at this particular intersection... U-turns USED to be legal there.  I didn't get the memo and I obviously didn't see the sign (or the cop lurking in the bushes) and flipped a bitch, and got caught.  UGH.  I so needed this like I need a hole in my head.  So, I got a ticket (what ever happened to warnings to those of us with good driving records???) and waited for my sentence to come in the mail.  It did.  A whopper of a fine and in order to avoid any points on my record it was suggested that I go to traffic school.  I chose Comedy Traffic School.  It's pretty cheap and it was easy enough, except I didn't think it was very funny at all.  Just because they throw in some silly looking superhero as their spokes-hero, doesn't make it funny.  Oh well... I wasn't looking for comic relief anyway, just a way to avoid points and an increase in insurance.  It only took a couple of hours (if I had sat down and done it all in one shot I bet it would've taken at most 2) and I was able to pass the tests easily enough.  Check.  Mark that task off of my to-do list.  I guess I learned my lesson.  PAY ATTENTION CHRISTINE!!!!  Man, I haven't gotten a ticket in SO LONG.  Seriously, it's probably been at LEAST 10 or more years.  Crazy.  I felt so embarrassed about the whole thing too.  What a WASTE of money.  

Anyway... just another bump along this road of life.  If you ever have to go to traffic school, I recommend the one I used.  It wasn't too bad and like I said before, pretty cheap & easy.
