I had something similar happen. The night I went to pick up my camaro from gearhead garage to take it to a show. This was the night my wheel blew off and my car was sitting on the side of the road on the freeway. I called 911 to get help as I thought someone was going to nail the car. I called gearhead and they came out with a flatbed about 30 minutes later, and no cop showed up. We get back to their shop at about midnight and look it over then ended up going back in my truck. I had expired tags for about 2 weeks on my truck, but had the tags in the truck (too lazy or busy) to put them on at the time, and a CHP pulls me over. He asks if I have been drinking, but I told them I had not at least not yet, and he asks for my insurance paper work. I handed him a progressive card with my policy number on it and he says that's the wrong one. I asked him why he thought that as they gave this to me to show cops and others that I had valid insurance. It had the number, the coverage’s and everything, but this ahole says no. So he writes me a ticket, I tell him to blow it out his ass, but still gives me the ticket. Go figure. So I get the ticket and was told to appear in court on a certain day, I tell him they was no f***ing way I was going as I live out of town, and that he was too stupid to know that I lived 120 miles away. He said then you can just pay the fine. I said whatever and took off. I get this thing in the mail 4 months later saying I owe $950 dollars for missing the deadline on the fine. This was their first letter to me. I made a few phone calls, but city workers in Stockton are either retarded, on drugs or inbred. I finally get a court supervisor and she tells me that I can schedule a court date to come in and fight it, but I told them I lived 3 hours away, and I was not going to come to there town to fight a ticket. I also told her that this was the first letter, and the letter stated that, that was their first letter, even though it said that I missed the first letter. Well I would rather pay the grand to not go back to that ****hole town I told her and hung up. I might need to work on my people skills when I get upset. But anyway that's my story. And that's why I don't go to inbred hick towns anymore.
