Traffic stop

The trooper walked up to the driver’s window of the car he had stopped. “I pulled you over because your tail light was out, but now I see you’re not wearing your seat belt. That’s a moving violation and I’m going to have to cite you.” The man quickly fastens the belt and says, “Please give me a break, officer. I always wear my seatbelt and just must have forgotten.” The officer thinks for a minute, then says “OK. I’ll let you off with a warning.” At which point his wife speaks up. “Thank you for being so understanding, and I’m glad you got him to buckle up. I’ve been telling him it’s unbuckled since we left, but he never listens to me when he’s drinking.”
