I got pulled over last night because I forgot to turn my lights on. Everythings fine, I din't get a ticket or even a warning. I haven't told my parents yet (because it was too late when I got home and now there at work) what do I do? Call them at work, wait till they get home? I have to tell them.

I had just got off work, and I was still in the city so I din't know that they were off. He said that most peolpe with there lights off were drunk. I wasn't and he was really nice about the whole thing.

just be honest and say mom/dad "I forgot to turn my lights on and this nice police officer stopped me let me know and possibly saved my life by stopping me. I have learned my lesson though. I'll make sure I have them on at all times". And you see cops really do protect and serve :) Plus he/she must of been in good mood. Because, that is easy a ticket. Worry when you get the ticket not when you don't. But, this should be a lesson to be learned and not done again. Tell your mom and dad after they ate and maybe had a drink :) Not as soon as they walk in the door, give them time to relax a bit....because chances are their day may have been crazy and may take it out on you. Wait until after dinner or while eating together and ask to help set the table and clear it..lol! OK. Good Luck.

Tell them when they get home. Just say you wanted to let them know, but you didn't want to worry them by calling them at work or by waking them up. The longer you put it off, the more likely they might get annoyed.

Well if you didn't get a ticket or something, there's nothing to worry about. Just bring it up sometime when they get home, make sure they know there's no fine, and it'll be ok.

My father and mom have consistently instructed me if i've got been given pulled over i could could desire to pay it myself so the 1st time i did det pulled over i instructed them yet considering the fact that they didnt could desire to pay for it they werent to stupid yet my dad replaced into aggravated considering the fact that he will pay my insurance and have confidence me its not low priced yet i could think of roughly slowing down because of the fact after my third value ticket my dad warned me that i could could desire to pay my insurance and at 18 with a activities automobile and 3 tickets the insurance is a lot severe!

Why do you have to tell them? You made a small mistake, and a police officer was kind enough to alert you without giving you a hard time about it. If you forgot to brush your teeth one day would you tell your parents? When you forget to do your homework and your teacher chides you about it do you call your parents at work ASAP? If you feel you must tell them, wait til they get home and casually mention it. It's not some sort of an emergency or anything.

wait till they get home. just tell them an officer stopped you to give you a reminder to put your lights on.
that's it. nothing major. nothing to worry about.
the officer stopped you to keep you and other motorists safe.

No, you don't have to tell them. Why would you? What would the point be? All they're going to do is worry. No ticket, no care.

Since nothing happened, its fine to tell them when they get home.

I wouldn't tell them. This was something minor that they shouldn't even care about. They will never find out the otherwise.
