One traffic ticket- $75
Fees for towing services-$115
Sliding into a ditch one hour into a ten hour drive- priceless

Yes, that's right, we ran into a minor snaffoo on the way back to Tennessee yesterday. The weather could not have been more rainy and more windy. Bellie was driving and hit a very slick spot on the road and hit her brakes and that was it. We spun around and landed in a ditch facing the opposite direction. We were fine, and the car was fine, but it was still slightly unnerving. Someone saw it and called the cops. Luckily the cop was a total jerk making the uncomfortable situation even more uncomfortable. He yelled at my crying sister about her bad driving choices. He was like "you're the fifth car we've had to pull out of the ditch today." Like it's our fault the crappy weather made for too slick roads. He called a tow truck and gave my sister a ticket for "improper lane usage". Then he had to leave because someone else slid into a pole like five feet up the road. The time between when he left and the tow truck came was the freakiest. When the police car was there with the lights on everyone was driving like two past us, after he left everyone drove like 100 miles an hour. And everyone was sliding back and forth on the same slick spot Bellie hit. I was positive someone else was going to spin out and land on top of us in the ditch. Luckily nothing happened and the tow truck guy came and got us in about a minute. Then $200 and one hour later we were on our way. We called our parents and they freaked out. All of their daughters (including my pregnant older sister) were in the car, so they were slightly worried until we finally made it back safe and sound. Now I'm a little more nervous to drive in rain, but we're all okay and that's what's important.
