Learning A Lesson

After being caught driving on a suspended driver’s license, AJ Leman was surprised to find out just how strict the consequences were. He had accidentally rear ended a Pontiac Sunfire, pushing it into a telephone poll.

“Thankfully the guy [in the Pontiac Sunfire] was okay,” Leman said. “I remember thinking to myself, I’m screwed. I don’t have a license.”

When the police asked to see his driver’s license, Leman was unable to show it.

“The officer said, ‘Put your hand on the car. You are under arrest for driving on a suspended licence.’ He cuffed me and put me in the back of his car,” Leman said.

Not having suspected this could happen, Leman was shocked. However, he was not willing to accept what had happened just yet.

“I was kind of a smart aleck because on the way to the jail I said ‘You did not read my rights.’ The police officer actually turned around and said ‘You watch too much TV,’” Leman said.

Once he got to the police station, Leman had to tell his parents what had happened.

“One phone call you never want to make is to your parents from the jail where you say, ‘Hey, Dad, I’m in jail,’” Leman said. “They were really mad that time. So my dad waited until the very end to bail me out.”

Leman had to wait at the police station for about four hours until his dad finally bailed him out at six o’clock that evening.

“I learned my lesson. I’ve been ticket free for 20 years,” Leman said.
