Police escort

My halfyear-insurance finally allowed driving again, and for the first time since August 2005 I took to the roads. The car should have had its mandatory road worthyness test in 2005, but broke on the race track before I had a chance to drive it to the test. So, as I was mobile again, the test was first priority. I booked the test to March 30th, and in the morning I drove the 7 kilometers to the test station - my first road drive in half a year. I'd say it was highly unlikely to happen, but just as I pulled up in front of the test station, a police patrolcar parked directly behind me, and before I knew what had happened, a young officer asked to se my drivers license - which I had forgotten. The already knew that my test was long overdue, and I must admit that this wasn't my proudest moment. They could have taken my registration and number plates on the spot and fined me for the forgotten license. Instead the followed me into the reception - to check if my also unlikely story of having a booking for testing in 5 minutes was really true. When they had that story confirmed, they let me go with a warning. The test station personnel found that whole show very amusing, but the officers did not laugh. Actually I thought that was a bad start to a test, but the Spitfire sailed through. YES! I am rolling again.
