Head for the border
For the first time on our road trip, I got pulled over by the cops. About 1 minute away from the Saskatchewan border I looked into my mirror to see a cop cruiser with its lights on. I should have sped up to cross the border and lose the cops but I wasn’t doing anything wrong. After a small conversation with the cops about Hockey games, Whistler and Twin Tips skis, he told me that there’s a few things wrong with my truck. The first being that I didn’t have any mud flaps and the second being that the trailer hitch on my truck is obstructing my license plate. The fine in Alberta for not having mud flaps is $115. He let me go because I’m from Ontario and suggested that I stop at a Canadian Tire, invest 20$ and get some mud flaps. Maybe I’ll consider it when I get back home. Is there such a law in Ontario? Anyways, he never mentioned the trailer hitch and that was it.
