why i hate the system

Why I am salty at the traffic infraction system:

1. I don't think that I was being paced for 4 speed signs down the Pali before I got pulled over in the first place.
2. I'm still irritated that the officer told me that she pulled me over instead of the friend I was following because I was "swerving" because I am completely confidant that I wasn't, and that I would have passed a sobriety test with no problem.
2.5. If you're going to make a point of telling me that I was swerving and that was the reason for me being pulled over, shouldn't I have been given a sobriety test?
3. Unclear instructions and situations regarding me not having the valid insurance card with me despite being covered: Cop says just bring my insurance card with me to court; ticket says I need to get an affidavit and insurance card in court is not valid, but I have to go; affidavit says I could have mailed it in the prosecutor's office if they got it 7 days before court date; people in court were just bringing their stupid valid insurance cards.
4. They should really just let the people who know their charges are going to be dismissed (like me) go FIRST because
5. They go in stupid alphabetical order (I'm damn near the end),
6. Nobody has enough sense to pay attention to clear instructions given at the beginning of the session and,
7. Nobody has enough sense to realize that we're all here for basically the same two offenses of no insurance card or no license at the time of infraction so the judge has to explain the options in detail over and over again, even if they are the same ones he's been telling the first 30 people all morning.

Grr.

The last one is the same gripe I have with the DMV. If you're stuck in a line with 20 other people all going through the same process to get their license, how do you not have the instructions burned into your mind by the time you get to the window?! I understand if you're the first person in line, but when everyone has been there at least half an hour, there is no excuse to keep making the same mistake as two dozen other people. It makes me crazy at how inefficient people who don't pay attention to things make the system slow and painful to deal with.

Oh, and I think it's kind of unacceptable to shaka at the judge and joke around when they're trying to get through your infraction, even if you know him. Kind of.

Okay, let's hope the day goes up from here.
