Same here, I remind DH 6 mos in advance of my birfday and our anniversary. :lol: not really - he's a good boy :hurray:
SS # is one thing but why would you remember your drivers license number? I have absolutely no idea what my dl # is.
Is it just me...or... Should I not enjoy the right to legally operate a vehicle in this state, without concern for being stopped for no reason at all? I understand if it involves reasonable suspicion that a violation of the law has occurred. But, by paying taxes, insuring my vehicle, having it inspected, and operating it within the law,why do I not enjoy the right to travel without interruption?
Not sure? In mine the numbers are all similar and kinda in a pattern, so its not hard to memorize. But as in HG's post - could come in handy some day! :lol:
Look at it like this - not everyone out there driving is abiding the law, driving lagally, is insured etc. The reports seem to indicate that these types of checks have caught some of these less than honest people......
Was officer Obie: taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to mention the aerial photography.
I got beaten, well then: We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog. And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, 'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow.
I here ya! I can never remember mine, I think it begins with a 9, but I'd have to look. . .it's short, compared to some states, and though I've had it since 1992, I'll be darned if I could tell you what it is - but my NJ license - one I traded in in '92, that one, I can tell you V64187676159572 - that's it - gospel truth! How I remember it? My ex-BIL was a number freak - he could remember numbers for years after just glancing at them for a moment. At gatherings, or in bars, he would go around and ask for your drivers' license and then give it back to you and repeat the number. Months later, out of the blue, he'd point at you and rattle it off - never missed a digit and I watched him do it with countless people for many years. . .he could also count cards :shock: and was quite the gambler.
I have donated a lot of money to the food bank over the years, to hear that song played on the radio on Thanksgiving! :lol:
Yes, it's just you....... Seriously, I'm surprised it took until pg 3 for someone to bring this up. I have absolutely no problem with these license checks- have you ever seen the stats on how many people they arrest/ticket during these things?? It's staggering. People with suspended or no driver's license, people with illegal (switched) license plates, no insurance, outstanding arrest warrants, DWI's, etc.. I for one am glad they hold these license checks if they get even 1 person off the road who does not deserve to be there. You do have the right to travel without interruption IF you are driving your vehicle legally- but these license checks help catch those who are NOT driving legally- with minimal interruption to your daily routine. I have been through 2 or 3 of these in the past year or so, and it has never taken me more than 3-4 minutes to get through. They had one of these license checks about 1/2 mile from my house a few months ago, there were no less than 6-7 vehicles parked on the side of the road after the cops left- I can only assume that the drivers of these vehicles were either arrested on the spot and their vehicles left to be towed later, or there was some problem with the vehicle's license which caused the cop to make the driver park them until it was straightened out. If you're not doing anything illegal, you have nothing to worry about. Rig
I learned mine back in the days when I wrote a check every week for my groceries, and I still remember it.
Harnett does these alot. They were looking for a perp that was accidentally released. He was released for one crime, but was wanted for questioning for another. Although they messed up, I give them kudos for getting out there and busting the jerks. Seemed like every time I went out the police were there. They actually caught the guys, too. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/2731403/
yep, me too. I know my DL#, SS#, Debit Card #, exp date and security code on the back , ex husbands SS#, fiance's SS#, my kids SS#. I have an uncanny knack for remembering numbers for some reason.
Cause if you're a number person, you don't have to try to memorize it, it just sticks after hearing/seeing numbers a few times. I know my SS#, my DH's SS#, my oldest son's SS# (after doing college entrance stuff), my DL #, and I don't have phone #s programmed into my phones, they're all in my head. As I'm getting older I've noticed that I'm not quite as quick at the recall as I used to be though. Bummer. :neutral:
I'm jealous, I have no memory at all for numbers. I have to look up my own mother's phone number. If I ever lost all the numbers in my Nextel, I'd be in deep doo doo. Now, faces and names, there I have no problem. A mostly useless skill unless DH can't remember the name of somebody in a movie we are watching. :mrgreen:
I have a good memory for faces, but can't always put a name with a face -- usually at the wrong time.
LOL! DH will ask me who so-and-so is, and if I don't know right then, I swear to you, it will come to me in the middle of the night and I will wake up. DH doesn't appreciate if I wake him up to tell him! :jester:
I'm really good with faces - it will drive me crazy until I figure it out if I see someone I KNOW I've seen before - But when it comes to names - I'm terrible, especially if its a quick introduction (like at church or a party), but if I write the names down, I remember them much better or if its an usual name. Movie stars - my DH is always asking me 'who's that' and most of the time I know - but sometimes it a 'nobody' and I'm like ' how should I know!' but he asks because he doesn't know if they're a well-known actor/tress or not! :lol:
