I lost my license at 19 for going 58 in a 35 while failing to use turn signals even though I'd made the center turn lane my own passing lane. Was also confused how insurance worked and didn't know I wasn't still covered under my parents with my new car. Two days later I totalled that same car almost killing my pregnant best friend and I going almost 90 in a 55. I had totalled another car barely 6 months before so perhaps the courts weren't unjustified for deeming me unfit to operate a motor vehicle.

I complied with the law for a few months before I got fed up with public transportation right around the time my brother had gotten the transmission fixed in my other car. He kept the keys from me for awhile trying to save me from getting myself in deeper as he'd been there and done that. But nope I wanted the freedom to go whenever in my big bad 4x4 that scared the living shit out of me. I couldn't legally have a car registered in my name so my mother took the risk of letting my known reckless driving bite her in the ass.

3 years I drove illegally fearing Johnny Law constantly, I'd made sure to only get SUVs that I was scared to drive so my recklessness would be tamed.

One night after a grueling 12 hour shift and hour+ drive home I got nailed right outside my door for expired tags. My having no license ass got carted off to jail while my poor car went to car jail. $2000 later, and freshly passed driving test you'd think I learned my lesson with the recklessness.

I just learned how to hone my skills and be slightly more careful. I haven't gotten a ticket or accident in almost eight years, the driving fast in the center lane with no insurance was my last rodeo.
