Well, my 10 year string of fortune ran out this morning as I was driving back from getting my wife's car serviced at the dealer. A lady driving in the middle lane made an sudden left turn, cutting through my lane. I had to swerve to avoid her, but unfortunately my wife's car ended up slamming sideways into the curb at 20 miles per hour. We were all ok, and lucky for me the lady stuck around, or else my insurance would be footing the bill.

Well an hour later HPD shows up, and cites her for improper lane change. I just happened to be carrying this morning, and kept rolling through my mind what to do when the officer showed up. Of course, to those who ask how to avoid the officer saying "where's your weapon" in front of everyone (in this case tow truck driver, other lady, witness), I would just say "please be discrete" when handing over the CHL. It worked for me as he pulled me aside and asked where it was. I informed him (right hip), and nothing more was said. When he handed back my ID and insurance papers at the end, he sandwiched the CHL in the middle so no one could see it.

Shameless plug: GEICO had the tow truck and rental car to me before HPD even showed up.
