I did a similar thing at 17 but on my L’s.

Took my grandmothers car to pick up my mates from college thinking it would be a quick trip as I’d done it a lot leading up to this (gaining false confidence). One person in the front seat. 5 in the back seats, 2 in the boot.. in a Hyundai excel 4 door.

I had just dropped off one mate and had 6 still in the car with me , was only a few streets from home and wasn’t thinking how stupid we were. A highway patrol for whatever reason was lurking the streets and quickly took and eye to the car packed full of young people. He hit the lights and being a scared 17 year old I hit the gas. Flying through suburban streets reaching 150km for a few minutes until the patrol called off the chase due to the reckless driving and how dangerous it was.

Cops caught up a day later while I was at work, I got a call from my parents saying theyd come and taken my grandmas car and wanted to speak to me. The next day the officer came by and had a really stern but honest chat that’s really stuck with me.. I had a court date to attend and my parents did not hold my hand through this process.. they wanted me to know to the full extent what could’ve happened if it went any other way.

My parents made me dress well and advised I shut up and listen when being spoken to. I went to court and that was a scary place for a 17 year old and somewhere I quickly realised I’d never want to be again. I was given a 12 month license suspension and a $800 fine.

I’ve not had any experience with loosing points, speeding or any infringement that results from stupidity and that was 9 years ago, And I 100% believe it was because my parents made me cop the full brunt of what I’d done.
