noble_aloof Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Okay so i got my license last friday.. I drive my mom's car its a pretty nice 07 with low mileage and a v6 so as a teenage kid i'm very content with it. She doesn't let me drive to school due to the fact that she uses the car in the day and as of right now i can only drive until about 7 at night. she told me i couldn't have any friends in the car without her permission Friday i didn't drive at all. Saturday i drove down to the local running store and bought a pair of shoes, then instead of going home i picked up two old neighborhood friends (which i wasn't supposed to do) and went for a 20 minute joyride, then returned home promptly. fast forward to today my friend ended up at my house after an early dismissal, and since i was the first one he picked up with his license, i tried to honor him as best i could and took him home. we blasted music, went a little fast, just did stupid kid things, then we get to the bottom of this at least mile long hill right before his development. he looks at me, i look at him, half the neighborhood is still at work. the kids are still in school, and the car has fresh tires on it. We knew what i had to do. before I put the car in neutral and revved to an unheathly amount of RPMs, i asked him "Are you sure theres no way i'll get in trouble?" "yeah" he said. So i burned out, ran a stop sign then realize a gigantic supply truck barreling towards me so i slowed down to about 5mph and got out of the way. the majority of the hill was still ahead of us, infact it barely started sloping upwards yet. After the truck passed i just floored it up the hill, i saw the speedometer hit 75 and though i had time to hit 85 (goes to a long dead end) i decided enough was enough and that there was no point in going that fast. so i slow down, put my blinker on to turn, and creep up the hill when suddenly my friend starts yelling "GO!! GO!!! KEEP GOING!". I ignore him and keep taking it slow, im beginning to turn and i see in my rearview a white car modeled like a police cruiser gunning it up the hill. "my neighbors an ex-cop!! my neighbors an ex-cop! quick get to my house". I still barely make the connection and i park in front of his house and tell him goodbye. then by the expression on his face i realized that we were being pursued. I pulled into his driveway and he starts running into his house. i get out and take two clumsy steps before the guy parks and beeps his horn fanatically. gets out, in a full suit and tie, and shows me his badge. doesn't ask my name or anything, just says that three cops live in this development and if they ever see this red car speeding or driving recklessly again, they will gladly give me a ticket. this whole time you can smell the rubber burning from the tires and brakes. What makes this story even more unfortunate is that he doesn't even know his neighbors, at all. So we go into his house, im shocked, he is shaking. his grandma is at the kitchen table knitting. we get upstairs, "what if my grandma heard it.. holy ****". i can't take just sitting there and drive carefully home. 10 minutes ago he calls me, the conversation went like this "guess what, my grandma heard the entire conversation.. she told my mom.. i can never drive with you again" tl;dr don't drive fast, 2 kids in my grade have died from automobile accidents in the past 2 years. new drivers beware the allure of speed.

Star_Fox Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 It's the exact opposite with my mom. I own a car. My mom doesn't. We live together so I end up having to drive her around to places like the SS office, market, the mall, etc.Most of the time, she doesn't even take the consideration of taking extra manners to respect my car's condition. She bashed the left doorwith a seat belt buckle, literally scratched the rear view mirrors with her purse, and made a small lump at my car's paintwhile leaning a 5 gallon water bottle against it. So basically I got mad at her, she gets mad at me with the STUPIDEST reasons to back it up and says that she'll never ride in my car again. Sure, she's my mom and does tend to my things but seriously....Have some damn respect for my property...ugh >.> Hope she [bleep]s with a wrong person's property see what it feels like.

Tim Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I wouldnt say "YOU FILTHY LAW BREAKER" but it is a lesson to learn, some teenagers are lucky to make it home. If your going to speed, do it in a safe environment like LEGAL racing, or the tour cars you can drive at rallys/tracks with a supervisor. EDIT: Agreed with above.

Gandalf14141 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 tl;dr don't drive fast, 2 kids in my grade have died from automobile accidents in the past 2 years. new drivers beware the allure of speed. That's happened at my school. That's a main reason why I don't drive recklessly, but seriously are you that stupid? You would think that after 2 people have died from automobile accidents you would have learned not to be stupid and go the speeds at which your going, and seriously, running a stop sign? That's probably the dumbest thing to ever do. What if a car had been driving and hit you? You could have killed 3 people in a split second.. I honestly wish the cop would have taken your license away/given a hefty fine to teach you not to do stupid things. Seriously, rethink what you just did and see if it was smart. If that had been my son/daughter riding with you and I had seen that I wouldn't even want them hanging out with you... Just my $.02 tl;dr don't be a friggen idiot when you just got your license.

stevepole Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Drivers ED doesn't rise because of bad drivers it rises because it's a commodity so many people want. The only thing they raise is the price of insurance when they get in accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range_This11 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hey, your first run-in with the cops for driving like a teenager. I can almost guarantee it won't be the last time you drive like that, trust me.

I'm went 2 years without an accident.... Then some old Geezer decided to rear-end me while I was waiting at a red light. She hit the gas instead of the brake.... [wagon].

You had something of a close call and got away with it this time. Tack it down to a lesson well learned and don't repeat the same mistake again -- and I don't mean getting caught -- I mean, make this a lesson to ensure you employ safer driving in the future. :shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgGamer Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I do this on a daily basis. You gotta get better at knowing cop-hangouts, man. I can fly at 70mph all up and down anywhere in my township depending on the time of day, cause I know where all the cops are at any given moment. I spent 2 years just figuring that out so when I got my license i could actually use it. Hell yeah for planning ahead :cool: Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic.

K4ylan Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 If there's a silver lining to all this, you have a story to tell others that will prevent them from doing exactly this. I know I'm always more likely to listen when someone tells me stories of when their friend/they were being stupid in a car and something bad happened. EDIT: It's nice to see all the adults as well as teenagers giving their opinions on this. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 It's nice to be able to speed, but that's going to screw you over at one point. Either way, consider what's happened a lesson learned. Try not to do the same thing again. And the DE does kinda help, as after some time, the insurance cost reduction will make it pay for itself. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight.

Nadril Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Damn, count yourself lucky man. At least you probably know better in the future now. Personally I don't think saving a few minutes off of your travel time is worth taking the chances. Good thing is you found out the easy way instead of the hard way.

Low C Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Pay a 135 dollar speeding ticket out of your pocket and it'll make you think twice about being cool lol. I wasn't even trying to speed I missed the 40 mph sign and wasn't paying attention and continued going 59 instead, luckily I got a 135 dollar ticket rather than reckless driving on my record. Moral of this whole story is people like us young males who drive hike up the insurance rates for everyone because we are the statistic that shows up on paper to be fast and stupid.
