9/27 Ticket

It's been a week of firsts.  Got my first traffic ticket today.  I've avoided the beige uniforms until today.  Turning an innocent left, I was aggressively motioned to pull over by a beige battoned helmeted @#$@@, who proceeded to threaten me with impoundment.  In my mind I was thinking deportation.  He actually made me go to the ATM to get him money.  I have a few expat friends who have been pulled over and have been let go, but, no, I was charged 200VND ($10). My students said he was just hungry and needed money for dinner;).
