The byce ride

Hi Prof.D Lauro
I would like to tell you my story when I had deal with police.
I abide by the law and never had a deal with police before. I was never arrested or locked in a car behind a screen. Many people dislike the police, because when people get caught doing violations they try to make excuses. But this is only one view. The main goal of the police is to prevent the accidents to help people to avoid situations when people can be injure.
It was Mother's Day. The weather was delightful, still and calm. The sun was brightly shining. The leaves began to bloom,the air was warm and sweet, when I decided to ride my bike to the Ocean County Mall for a present for myself.
The first unexpected event was waiting for me in the center of Toms River. The main street of the city was blocked off for the Mother's Day festival. A lot of people were there.A band was playing county music, The people were dancing and laughing. The smell of fresh cooking spread all over us. The children were fooling around and having fun.The happiness of the place matched my mood.I participated. I ate a delicious hot sandwich, drank an icy strawberry smoothy, sang and danced a while and continued my ride to the mall.
The next thing that made me happy was, that I bought a present for myself. I was completely satisfied and went home . I thought the shortest way to get home would be theparkway, but cars were going so fast that I couldn't cross the roud. All the cars were beeping their horns I didn't understand why? I still rode on.
Suddenly Iheard a police siren. "You have to be careful. Probobly an accidentis in front of you,'' that was my thought. But the police blocked my way. I froze with fear. The police started questioning me.Where do I live ,where am I going to ,Where have Ibeen. I explained but he still asked me the same questions. After I showed my receipt he asked me did I know how far is my hone from the mall? I said that I didn't have a clue.He said that it is about 30 miles. He checked my documents took my byce and put it in the trunk of his car. Opened back door and said,"take a seat." On the way I was frightened,because I didn't know where he was taking me.I didn't have anyone who could help me.What will be whith me? And finally I didn't understand what wrong I did? When the policeman stopped the car he asked me if I recognized the street and if I knew how to get home from here. I said,"Yes." It was Lasey Roud. The policeman took the bicefrom his trunk and said that I have to give him a promise never to ride the bicycle on the parkway again. He didn't give me any ticket or fee. I couldn't believe that he was only helping me. He said that I made one huge mistake when I took a bycicle ride on the parkway. It was very dangerous for me because an accident could happen to me. Only when I get home I realized the danger I put myself in. I was so thankful for the kindness of the policeman who helped me. I still do not know his name. In spite of this incedent my day ended well.
