This doesn't involve my CC permit, but I still found it really amusing 
I work 2nd shift at a Freightliner dealership, so I get home around midnight. I was taking a co-worker home in Pleasant Hill, a suburb of Des Moines, IA. So I pull up to a stop light, I have my left turn signal on. Green arrow lights up and I turn. I pass a bank, a Subway, etc and get to his street and again, turn left. My buddy notices a squad car following me around the corner and says to me "You're going to get pulled over.". I looked in the mirror and I see him behind me. Apparently he was in the driveway of the Subway and I didn't notice the car. I continue up the street and pull into friend's driveway, he gets out and the officer is sitting in the street behind us. Waiting.
I am driving a Mercury Grand Marquis (poor man's Lincoln or the fancy version of the Ford Crown Victoria). I back out of the driveway facing the officer. His cruiser is blocking my path to head home myself, so I wait there with my window down and hands on the wheel, and he finally pulls up along side me.
I say 'hello' and he asks me "what is the deal with your turn signals". I say, while leaning out the window a little "oh, is there something wrong with it?" as I turn on my left signal. He says "what's the deal with the bright light on the corner?" A moment passes with me giving him this odd look and I realize and say "oh, that's a 'curb light' comes on to illuminate corners in cars like this". He had no clue what that was! Was a young officer, couldn't have been over 23, on the graveyard shift looking for something to do, lol.
So he says "well I suppose I'll leave you alone" and he drives way. I literally laughed out loud on my way home.
I imagine he got on his radio and was asking if 'curb lights' was a real thing. :biggrin:
