This has probably happened to you at some point in all the years you’ve been driving. You see the police lights behind you, immediately panic, go through your mental checklist of “what was I doing” realize you were going the speed limit… didn’t blow a stop sign… everything is up to date… “so why are they pulling me over?!” Only to have the officer come up to the window and say “do you know you have a tail light out?” Of course you didn’t. How would you know unless someone told you!
This is technically an offence they can ticket you for. If you’re having an unlucky day you might get one. But drivers in Denver recently have had the opposite happen. Police have been pulling people over with busted tail lights and instead of handing them a ticket/fine… they’re giving them $25 gift cards to an auto parts shop so they can fix it.
What a great move on their part! They should implement this here in Connecticut immediately.

To celebrate the fact that break dancing will now be an Olympic sport, we decided to have a dance off! Let us know who you think the winner is in the comments!
Keeping with our Olympics theme for Mundane Mysteries today’s question… what happens if there is a tie for gold? This obviously doesn’t happen that often since a lot of the timed events are decided by a tenth of a second, but it does happen. So they have to have a system for it. Which they do.
If two athletes tie for gold (which actually happened in the 2014 Winter Olympics for the Women’s Downhill Ski Final) they both get a gold medal, a silver isn’t given out, and the runner up gets the bronze.
If there is a tie for silver, same idea. First gets gold, second and third get silver. No bronze given out.
If there is a ties for bronze then both get the bronze medal and gold and silver are given out as normal.
I don’t believe there have been any ties in Tokyo yet this year… but now you know what happens if there is one.

We are quickly coming up on the 20 year anniversary of 9/11. Crazy that it’s already been TWENTY YEARS since that awful day.
A lot of people will be honoring the victims and paying tribute in their own special ways. This one 62-year-old former flight attendant named Paul Veneto will be doing something really cool. He knew a lot of the crew members who were on the plane that hit the South Tower. Starting next month he will be pushing an airline beverage cart 220 miles. Starting in Boston and ending at Ground Zero in New York City.
You can follow along with his journey and donate at PauliesPush.com
Such a cool idea. Good luck Paul!
