The cop was sneaky but he seems to be so considerate. Usually people lie at these situations but maybe because you honestly told him the reason, you earned his understanding.
I don’t have these kinds of worries because I don’t know how to drive but soon, I’ll be learning to and so I might have these stories to share in the future 😅
I had nothing to lie about luckily. Driving is great, but cold can be a nuisance.
