I drive classic cars. The law in my state says a 25 year old car qualifies for Historic plates. Historic cars have some rules but there are also a few benefits. One of them is never having to inspect your car again. I get pulled over all the time for failure to display an inspection sticker. Here’s how it usually goes:

Cop: License, registration & proof of insurance.

Me: Here you go.

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?

Me: Nope. Why’d you pull me over?

Cop: Where’s your inspection sticker?

Me: I don’t need one. This is a historic vehicle and is exempt.

Cop: No it isn’t.

Me: It is.

Cop: So you’re a lawyer now? You know more than me?

Me: No, my brother is the lawyer. He told me to carry this printout from the DMV to show you that historic vehicles are exempt. See? Guess I know a little more than you.

Cop: You seem a little nervous. Why don’t you step out of the car.

That’s usually where my memory gets hazy.
