Rosalie Berg had a spotless driving record — and she wasn’t shy about bragging to her friends. Naturally, the universe heard her confidence and said, “Oh really?”

In this hilarious suburban misadventure, Rosalie manages to rack up two traffic stops in just two weeks… with her kids in the back seat for both. First comes a warning for rolling through a stop sign, then a full‑blown speeding ticket right in her own neighborhood.
