Driving

[carrie721]

i like driving a lot. especially stick shift. don't always love city driving ... but highways? yes. and as the ledgies who went to the cleveland show can attest, i'm a pretty good driver. except when we're being almost carjacked outside a gas station. i do like to drive fast, though, so i had three tickets by the time i was 20. haven't had one since, though.

i got my license when i was 17, and my parents bought me a car when i was 19, a 96 saturn. sadly it's sitting in the driveway with a leaky radiator. it's been a good car tho.

two of my tickets were for speeding (38 in a 25 zone and 75 in a 60 zone), and one is for turning right on red at a five-way intersection. and i wasn't turning to the next street over, i crossed the median. and there was a cop literally directly behind me. yes, i am a moron. i've also had numerous parking tickets, but only one from the city. the rest are from the bastard university.

i've hit 2 parked cars, but didn't make a mark. i've only been in one car accident, but i wasn't in a car when it happened ... yes. i got hit while crossing the street. not fun.
