You ran the stop sign. May I see your driver's licence, please?
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see the stop sign at the corner. I didn't mean it.
That doesn't justify your violation. May I see your licence, please?
Oh, sorry, I don't have it on me. Honestly, I forgot it at the house. But I have the insurance policy with me. Here it is.
Well, sir, your insurance looks good, but I still have to write you a ticket.
I understand, officer. I guess it's just not my day today. I will accept the fine.
