must be new to driving huh?? when i first started driving i was a speed freak. my friends mom said all she seen wheni went by the house was a maroon blurr and heard an engine humming lol. after i was in a wreck and i WASNT speeding and it WASNT my fault i quickly realized what a wreck at high speeds WILL do. i was hit by a guy not paying attention. i was coming to a stop sign andonly going 10-15mph max. he was in an SUV and probably going 10mpg as well. he CRUSHED my little Plymouth Duster. the impact was amazing. words cant explain it. i had a seatbelt on and my airbag deployed. i wasnt hurt at all. shooken up real good. airbags and the loud noise of the impact will make anyone scarred. i got out ready to BEAT HIS ACE. he seen how fast i jumped out and immediatly appologized and said he didnt see me. i was 2 blocks from the house. dad and the police were there before the guy could react. i was jacked. but hey i was ok and it wasnt my fault. but that opened my eyes. what if i hit a deer doing 70 in a 35?? what if i slip on a wet spot and nail a gaurd rail? what if someone is stopped and turning or going WAY slow on the other side of the hill that i cant see till its too late?? i still like to drive fast and accelorate hard. but ive calmed down and rather stay alive to hunt another day then die or be injured so badly i cant hunt again. id let your dad have the license for a little while. show him you learned your lesson and talk to him in a few weeks or so. tell him thats the last time and you realize you were a litttttle iresopnsible and and thats the last ticket. till then get to work and pay for the ticket and tire!
