A young friend of mine recently received a $97 ticket (not in this state) for failing to flip on her blinkers for a turn. She received the ticket despite the fact that she was in a turn-only lane. Yeah, she committed a violation. And she figured that she had a ticket coming for all the times she has gone over the speed limit, failed to come to a complete stop, and parked too long in spots. But she still felt the traffic cop was a little anal retentive for nailing her with what amounts to a day's pay for a relatively minor violation.

Question: Have you received a traffic citation of any kind that you were tempted to tell the officer: Don't you have something better to do -- like solving real crime?
