9. I got tested for making a right turn on a red light once

As you may or may not know, right on red is illegal in NYC, unless signs say it's allowed. So I went through it (bad me, I know) after coming home from a concert. I was pulled over. Officer correctly said why I was pulled over. Then he said "Have you been drinking?" I said something like "No officer, the last drink I had was over a month ago." He then said "ok, then do the breathalyzer test."

Well, I got out of the car, did it, and he smiled and said you can go home.
