Got Pulled Over By A Cop :(

[Smile]

Hi She Cat,

I was responding to the OP who did indeed mention having dents/scratches on the car...

Even though I agreed with her, ur right

If I find myself in a situation where I feel it necessary to disclose anything. I will just say I...

Glad u said that bc I wavered between saying anxiety instead

when I first started driving I ran up 23 points before they could even send out the warning letter that I would be suspended if I got any more points (the warning I believe normally goes out when you hit 6 points) in 2 or more incidents, just missed details like stop signs and stuff. I had to get the docs to ok me to drive again, but after I was on the meds my driving was great, in fact you could tell if I missed a dose by my driving. You may want to see if there is more going on that has to do with your driving problems. It may be you need something and the driving problems is a symptom.

23 points is a lot! Glad u got the meds u needed :)

As for me... Right now I have no health insurance until disability comes thru so I'm just trying to hold out best I could. But yes, I definitely need fine tuning in that area

How do I say this? Okay, I'll say it. Have your cigarettes out and ready OR just wait until you are at your destination. I play my Gregorian chants from Pandora on my cell phone (my husband listens to FFDP and lots of other chunky metal songs which I don't mind however...) and leave it in the passenger seat before I go ANYWHERE.
Is the cigarette worth it? Can you wait? I'm studying Criminal Justice and if you admit you have PTSD, it could turn out bad. That's why I can't be a cop....I was abused by my father who was a cop and my brother who was Military Police. However, I'm taking CJ because I'm going to work in Homeland Security.

Just be careful. Just wonder if things are worth waiting for.

Thank you for your advise. I appreciate it. I def won't mention PTSD to a cop again.

But it's really not about the cigarette. My driving in general has gotten harder and harder. It's gotten harder to focus. Like sometimes something will catch my attention and I'll look at it for too long... And then jump back into my lane.

Working on being mindful while driving but it's def a work in progress

When I'm out in my car I put my cigarette making stuff in the boot, so I know it's there if I want one. It's like a back up for me, in case the chewy sweets that I always take with me, in my pocket, don't work.

It seems to work, as it's not very often that I want to pull up,...... park up, ........and roll myself a smoke, so when I get home I take the tin back out of the boot, and have a smoke.

My driving in general has gotten harder and harder.

MIne has too but I feel that I'm more of a NASCAR driver than anything else. I feel people are going too slow or not really paying attention to the way they're driving. I will confess here that I'm going to tell my counselor that I have a bad anger issue at Nebraska drivers because, first of all, I don't like Nebraska, and secondly, I think this whole state is a state of confusion and narcissism.
Yeah I'm trying to leave. I just don't want to be here anymore. It's not good for my health and well being. Getting the money to move and so forth is coming...I'm working on it.

Good luck!
