Mid-life crisis…at 24

yesterday was the 1st time ever in my life that i got apprehended by a policeman while driving…(not to count of course the time when i acted nasty with another policeman when he apprehended my brother and he like recited the miranda law…the speech that goes like "you have the right to remain silent…yada yada yada" but the policeman who said that to me went like "you have the right to remain SILENCE…" alright!?) oh well…back to yesterday…it’s only here in the philippines whre you can see policemen doing that…i was apprehended because i turned right when the traffic light was red and the policeman said that it was reckless driving…BUT as i remembered there was a sign there that said "Turn right with care anytime" so as i was saying, the police made me stop and explained those things to me and was about to give me a ticket. He asked for my license and registration and told me that they weren’t gonna confiscate my license but i have to pay for the fine  in any metrobank office AFTER 5 days…so i like told him "after 5 days pa?hindi  ba pwede ngayon? (referring to the bank, if i could pay today and not wait for 5days) and he asked "ngayon?gusto mo na magbayad ngayon?" and i said "oo, ngayon na." (still referring to the bank of course) and he said "sige, tatlo kami dito. ikaw na lang bahala…" What the???!!! of course he was referring to himself and the other policemen who accepts "lagay" oh my God…i can’t stop laughing after that…that only happens here…so…being the good citizen that i am and of course not wanting to have a record with LTO, i gave them 300bucks and drove away still laughing about my experience.
