Wow… on the way to Alabama this past weekend, we found ourselves at a “checkpoint.” There were a couple of Alabama State Trooper cars and a couple of Valley Head, AL police cars blocking AL 117 coming out of Valley Head… I don’t know if they were looking for somebody or a sobriety check (though, he never asked if I had been drinking…) or maybe “click it or ticket.”
Well, of course he asked for my license and my proof of insurance.
License – Check.
Proof of Insurance – Whoops.
He checked my ID and then went and looked at my Tag (presumably to run it to make sure I have insurance, which, of course, I do.) He came back chuckling… he found it amusing that I had “University of Alabama” on my Georgia tag. And just for that, he let me go. Never did I dream that my tag would get me though an Alabama checkpoint without a ticket for not having proof of insurance or anything.
But, you know… it did and I found that amusing. 🙂
