Hey everyone. I had a wonderful start to my weekend yesterday when I bought a newer car for myself. It was my first car with a manual transmission, and I wont deny it has been a challenge learning to drive it.

Now to the thick of it

I was driving home from an early morning meeting from work today, and I pulled up to a light on a hill. I proceeded to stall the car twice.... and I got a little frustrated. There was a cop car just behind me in another lane. She decided to pull in front of me, and as I passed, she put her lights on and pulled me over. She came up and immediately told me that my license plate was not registered, and that she needed to see my registration and insurance. I produced what I had, which was the bill of sale on the car, and my insurance from my old car, which is still active. This is where it gets foggy for me. She told me that the car was not registered OR insured, which I agreed with, because I hadnt had the chance yet to get new insurance. I was told that it wasnt a big issue by a friend of mine, so long as I had valid insurance. The cop decided rather than issuing me a $3000 fine and towing the car to issue me a ticket for failing to produce insurance.

She said its best I dont fight it because I got off pretty light..... I still feel like I got picked on a little due to the fact that she wouldnt have noticed me had I not stalled.

Do I fight or Do I surrender??? Help me CP!
