I did not start driving until I was 18 (I got my liscense then) for various reasons. I've always been around lead foot drivers and those with road rage, even when I was young, so I suppose you can say my tendency to go a little over the speed limit and to cuss at drivers like they can hear me comes from that. Of course, I also know when to obey the law and watch what I am doing and what I say. This usually only happens in the town my college is located in, which is about a 15 minute drive or so from my own town. It also happens on the highway stretch heading up there. I live in a small town so speed limits can easily be broken and nothing will be done if it is within an acceptable range, being 5 mph's over, it's a town cop, and they know you (or you are connected to a well-known family). When I say small I mean a town of less than 1500 people, and for my state, that is fairly small. There are smaller ones but they usually don't have their own PD. I drive with my radio on most all of the time, I talk on the phone sometimes, and I have also mastered driving with my knee while putting my hair back up when it falls out of the bun I wear it in. No wrecks so far in my couple of years and I've only been pulled over once and was issued a warning because the person in front of me did not know how to drive one speed limit and so I was made out to be the one in the wrong. I hope I keep doing well. I really don't think I could ever handle a ticket or a wreck. =|
