I also have four kids, the oldest being 14 and the youngest 9 months! I am a native Texan, and up until 4 years ago I lived their my entire life!<br /><br />I found your blog while researching homeschooling. I'm considering homeschooling my 9 year old next year. <br /><br />I think you acted very appropriately in this situation, and I'm sure your children are proud of you and will always remember this day!

I'm so thankful you and your children are safe--I have done the same thing--run a red light and didn't realize the light was changing. It happens to all of us. I don't think that driver making those unsafe moves around your car was productive-or safe. Law enforcement officers make tough decisions, don't they? I bet he felt bad giving you that ticket.Michellehttp://www.greekrootsinamericansoil.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-49941886387655327112012-01-27T11:21:18.212-06:002012-01-27T11:21:18.212-06:00I have an associate's degree in defensive driv...I have an associate's degree in defensive driving.

I thought they had to actually SEE you commit the infraction (thus camera lights). <br /><br />What's to stop some vengeful nut-job from targeting anyone he feels should get a ticket?<br /><br />Sounds like you handled it the right way though. You knew you'd made an oops and took responsibility for it in front of your kids. Way to go, Mom. Hopefully the other guy learns a big lesson.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315109355687283907noreply@blogger.com
