    Good morning teacher,

    I had an experience being pulled over by the police when my husband, his mother and I were going to the immigration post office in San Francisco and my mother-in-law was driving. She made an illegal u turn and the police stopped us to say that she was not supposed to do that. She knew she was wrong and she apologized to the officer and he was very nice and let us go. He didn't ask her for her license or registration. Also he liked to know I was from Brazil.

    And that is it !

    See you later teacher

    Have a good day!
