twice in one night?! unheard of!

so, i think i made history tonight.

it was a typical sunday night driving home from the city after taking my sister back home. as we were on the west side highway, we realized that our right headlight on the accord was out. we decided to change it tomorrow since we really couldn't do anything about it at 10pm. on the way home, we stopped for gas on the palisades, since it's cheaper in jersey. and as we stopped, my dad had to use the bathroom, so i moved into the driver seat as we waited for a pump to open up. i ended up driving home from there because it was easier since i was in the driver seat already. so, we're on our way home on Rt. 303, about 5 minutes from my house. when i see a car in my mirror pull really close behind me. and wouldn't you know it, it's a cop. the flashing lights and spot light go on. i'm thinking. "oh crap, was i speeding?" and it didn't help that my parents were in the car with me. but when he asked for license and registration, he said, "are you aware that you have a headlight out?" i said, "yes, i did. we just discovered it tonight on our way home." i guess he saw from my license that we weren't far from home. so, he let us go without a ticket saying, "make sure you take care of it." just when we thought we were home free, we drive maybe 1000 feet and i see another cop car coming out of one of the side streets. as soon as we saw it, my parents and i said, "oh boy, stay 40 (mph). is he coming? oh man, he's gonna stop us. oh boy. oh boy." i was looking in my mirror constantly to see if he was going to pull out behind me. and sure enough, he pulls out follows me a little and then the flashing lights and spot light go on. meanwhile, my mom is hysterically laughing. i'm glad she was laughing. cause getting pulled over is no fun, especially when you have to explain to your parents why you were pulled over. but in this case, i wasn't speeding. long story short, i got away without a ticket from either cop. it's just a great story to tell that we can always laugh about. man, getting pulled over twice in a matter of seconds is crazy.
