Is it possible to live your whole life without having a car accident?

2021-04-15 at 2:17 PM UTCThat reminds me of a time where I ate two tubes of dramamine and stole my dad's Ford Explorer to drive to my friend Derek's place. I just basically remember that I kept swerving into the middle median (redundant) and that's what kept me on the road going relatively straight to where I needed to get to. And then speaking of talking to inanimate objects i remember sitting in the stairwell in his apartment and talking to a person for 2 hours that of course wasnt ever there.

"I have to be at work in downtown Houston at 8am and I'm going to do whatever it takes to get there on time, if that means speeding I'm going to do it"
When he finished his little tirade I said:
"Just leave 10 mins earlier to allow more time for your journey"..the teacher said "that's right!"
Said pickup truck redneckian looked at me like he was going to run him over in his F150 after class.

Yes, the choice was pay a $150 speeding ticket (And I assume get points/endorsements on my license which hits your insurance too)or take a $25 class.
If you drove anything other than your mom mad you'd know that.
ETA: I tried the "I'm a foreigner and don't understand your road signs too well" line on the cop who stopped me...didn't work though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

A speeding ticket? Lmao. Why didn't you just leave 10 minutes earlier if you were in such a rush. -

I hadn't taken the class yet so I didn't know that you could do that.
The reality was the road was fucking empty and said cop was hiding behind trees...small town Texas = giving out tickets is how they get their $$$ for local government.
Some of those fucked up little towns purposefully try to fuck you over with the speed limits...you'll see a sign that says 50...1 mile later 70...then like 1/4 mile later back to 50...and the cop parks up just by that sign to catch everyone still going 70.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Yeah I'd only been here a couple of years when that happened...A friend later told me he'd had 4 or 5 tickets dismissed because the cops never showed up. -

2021-04-15 at 3:41 PM UTCyeah its possible but unlikely. I've caused a few car accidents while blitzed. But most of them were done to me by sober women.
my first gf when I was 18, she was 16 asked if she could drive her moms car before going to a show and I said sure but just down the street. A cat ran in front of the car and she didn't slow down and we were on a residential street where its like 25 mph... and I yelled to stop the car and the cat was definitely dead and she was screaming and crying and some older dude mowing his lawn was like "ITS DEAD DON"T WORRY!" and she started crying more.. but yeah had to drag the cat into the gutter and give her vicodin and a dq blizzard to calm her down before the show
for a vegan peta liberal.. she sure did know how to animals.. -
