after driving Auto Trans. for so long, i left my car on a hill with the e-brake slightly pulled and disregarded leaving it on first, As soon as i closed my door the car started rolling down the hill, i had to chase after it luckily there was no one behind, i manage to jump back in the car and hit the brake

Last week. while waiting at the red light, blasting music out loud this VW jetta pulls right next to me looking hard, as soon as the light turns green he smashes the gas and so do i right after.

I get next to him than start pulling up about 1-2 cars, than all of a sudden i see him coming closely so fast until he passes me, at that moment i couldn't believe what was happening until i decided to look at the cluster to find out i was at 1st gear 7000 rpms(music too loud)which i completely forgot, thinking i was in automatic mode. He turned at the next light not giving me another chance and i was pretty embarrassed

Dumbest thing I've done in my E60? 97mph (157kph) in a 55mph (90kph) zone is pretty dumb, it gets your license suspended for 12-15 months and lands you in jail for 3 weeks.

I'm on my 5th month without a license, it sucks, hard.

Take it from me guys, drive hard and drive fast, but don't get caught.

yeah, this guy learned his lesson





NOOOOOT


Hey, I hear in Finland the fine is based on your income and assets. Is it the same in Norway? Or do they just throw you in the "slammer" for 3 weeks... btw here's a pic of Norwegian jail:




I've stayed in motels in America that are about a million times scarier! Pennsylvania, baby

The fines for drunk driving are based on income and assets, speeding is fines up to a point, and then jail.
I went so far over the speed limit that I won't be getting a fine at all, I'm going straight to jail.

The picture you linked to is a prison, not a jail, jail's are nowhere as comfortable.

Edit: I actually haven't heard from the cops since I got caught 11th December, so I'm done regretting what I did, now I'm just pissed off that they're postponing shit.
Yea, I've tried to get information out of them multiple times, but because I confessed in the police cruiser, they have up to 6 months to contact me with a court date etc.

Getting caught for that was probably the best thing too. Imagine if you got caught doing that after you had hit another car and took their life. Think on the positive side.

Stupidest thing? Probably cutting off the wrong person on the road, and him actually trying to wreck my car because he was so pissed. I learned if I get cut off etc, not to respond to other drivers road rage.
