Hey y'all!
So I went out dressed yesterday, I was all done up in my new goth look, (pics to come later). I went to Pearl, MS, (close to Jackson) to do some shopping and then for a bite to eat..... That's not the exciting part, though. LOL
While I was on my way home last night, I had to take I-55 Northbound to get home from Pearl and right after I exited off of the Interstate, I came up on a sobriety check point, WHILE I was still dressed, of course! Oh my word, I was SO nervous and my heart was pounding SO fast because I knew I had to show my driver's license. LOL So, my idiot self decided I didn't wanna go through that sobriety check point and explain to the officer that I'm CD'er, so I checked the traffic, then saw it was safe and I pulled a u-turn, (albeit an illegal one), RIGHT in front of all those police cars and officers, (there were several of them). Also at that point, I didn't know for sure if it was a sobriety check point or an accident but either way, I wanted to avoid it. So, I proceeded to get back onto I-55 Northbound to take the next exit that would get me home. Then when I hit the on-ramp to get back on I-55, here come the blue lights in my rear-view mirror..... Yeah, I was EXTREMELY nervous at this point and I was cussing! LOL
I pulled over on the shoulder of the ramp, got my driver's license out of my purse and my car registration and insurance out of my glove compartment. I opened my driver's side window and the cop was right beside me, seeing me in my full goth get-up! ROFL! The cop asked me, "How much have you had to drink tonight?" I told him in my feminine voice, "Absolutely none, I'm not dumb enough to drink and drive", which was true, of course. Then he asked to see my driver's license. I showed him my license, then told him, "That's me, I'm crossdresser". He looked at me funny, then said, "It's good you're not dumb enough to drink and drive", I said, "Yeah". Then he said, "You're good to go, have a good one" and I went on about my way.
I think the cop was a little weirded out by the way I was dressed, or because I'm a crossdresser, but either way he acted like he wanted to get away from me ASAP! LOL But yes, I know that cops have seen it all and this one was an older gentleman, looked like he was a seasoned police officer who has probably seen a lot in his time..... Anyway, I got VERY lucky that he didn't write me a ticket, I think he could have because I pulled an illegal U-turn. After that, I was WISHING I had a strong drink! ROFL
So that was my first time having to show my driver's license while dressed and while I was nervous, there was nothing to worry about.
