I was apprehended just yesterday, twice! The first instance was because of my passenger, my beloved mother, who did not put on her seat belt. I always reminded her that but on that day, I did not bother to as I thought she made it already a habit. Good thing, the two MMDA traffic enforcers let go of us after showing them my ID... but not before giving them my stock of playing cards. Waaahhh!
The second time was worse: beating the red light. Actually, I did not see the traffic light. It was a small intersection that until now I am still wondering if that traffic light is really visible to the drivers. I could still not believe that I did not see it! Must it be that the light was no longer working when I approached that intersection? Nevertheless, we are still fortunate that nothing bad happened to us.
At first though, the traffic police was intimidating when he demanded for my driver's license. But when I identified myself (again...) and showed both my ID and license, he mellowed and just asked us if we usually ply that route. He did not bother to scrutinize my blurry answer and just let go of us.
I was traumatized by those incidents! I'm afraid I might not be lucky the next time...
