Fined $150 and 6 demerit points and it’s all my fault!
Yup, it’s entirely my fault. I’m not going to deny it. I was stopped by the traffic police for careless driving.
Now, before you think further on whether I was doing some drink driving. Nope it isn’t.
Let me explain…
I was driving down to Dennis Wee Toastmasters Club together with Benjamin & Rachit.
As I was turning out of the carpark into the main road, I stared out with difficulty as the blaring sun was shining into my eye.
Well, little did I notice was that the traffic police motocycle was passing by.
What happened was, I didn’t really notice some other motocycles was also coming to a stop near the traffic light.
As I turned out of the junction, I made it come to a stop.
The policemen saw this and gave me a ticket. The ironic thing was, I thought it was because Ben & Rachit didn’t put on the seat belts yet! Ha! What irony… 
In any case, during such situations, people would curse and complain about the sun and everything and curse and moan to the traffic police on giving 2nd chances. Well, I guess it’s really up to us to take what was thrown to us. Things come into our way, causing ripples and obstructions to what we want to achieve.
Now, it is really up to us to concentrate at obstruction and stop looking at the solution. Or we can start looking at solutions and look at it as a lesson learned. I hope this little incident can shed some light on how we can handle difficult situations. 
Cheers to all!

P.S. While I’ve learnt my lesson, I’m still hoping for an appeal and save that $150! :p Looking for solutions rite? muahahhaha…
