\u201cDo you want to be free from fear of the one in the authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God\u2019s servant for your good.\u201d Romans 13:3-4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He handed me back my license and told me to have a nice dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unintentionally, I had done the wrong thing, but I did the right thing by telling the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
