OMG that is a genius way to get out of a ticket! I'm not saying this lady was faking, but if you were to hypothetically fake it, there's no way a cop is gunna write you a ticket after you hug him and thank him for saving your life, right? Like he's gunna be thinking about telling everyone "hey i saved somebody's life today". He's not gunna be in the mood to write a ticket and ruin your day, cuz you almost died.
"Are you okay?"
