Spherian Liberty teaser (very old)

"I didn't make you do anything! Besides, I didn't expect you to go that fast!" Oorbo argued. "Listen, just pull over."

Orbii pulled over on the side of the road. He put his head up against the steering wheel. The cop got out of his vehicle and approached them.

Orbii rolled down his window. "Hi officer," he gulped.

"Do you know how fast you were going?" the cop asked.

"Y y yes I do," Orbii stammered.

"License and registration please."

"License, right.." Orbii frantically searched for his license, but couldn't find it. He remembered he left it at the house.

"Dang it," he said to himself.

Desperately looking for an alternative, he asked Oorbo, "Hey, do you have your license?"

"Uh...ya I got it."

Orbii grabbed Oorbo's license and tried to hand it to the cop.

"I have his license, is that ok?"

The cop rejected it. "No, I need your license. You are the driver, correct?"

"Um well, how about my school I.D.?"

He searched around and found it in the glove compartment, then showed it to the cop.

The cop also rejected it. "This still isn't your license."

Orbii with no other options finally confessed, "Well...I don't have my license.. b-but could you give me a warning or a ticket at least?"

"You went way above the speed limit and don't have your driver's license. I'm going to need to take away this vehicle."

"What?!" Orbii exclaimed.

"Please step out of the vehicle."

"Wait what's going on?" Oorbo was perplexed.

"We have to abandon the car," Orbii solemnly said as he got out.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Rules are rules, Oorbo. Now get out before we get into even more trouble."

"Alright," he grumbled.

Orbii looked towards the cop. "So we got out, what do we do now?"

"A tow will come pick your hovercar up and take it to the nearest dealership. You will have six months to buy it back before they sell it to someone else."

"Well there goes our school tuition savings," Orbii muttered to himself. "But where is the nearest dealership from here?" he asked the cop.

"There will be an email in regards to your repossessed vehicle. They will tell you which dealership to go to."

"Ok thanks."

"So what are we gonna do now?" Oorbo asked.

"Well, I guess we'll just go home. Do you have enough energy to fly?"

"Ya I do.. I just didn't think we would've gotten pulled over today."

"Ya me neither, but please Oorbo, don't entice me to make risky decisions, It'll endanger you and me both." Orbii added, "Also when I get the car back, I want to split the fee with you."
