So I just got back from the DMV

So I got back from the DMV a little while ago... and, I now officially have a driver's permit. then I drove for a half an hour... and I must say, I'm actually not all that bad if I do say so myself... this is probably as a result of countless hours playing Need for Speed games... lol

i have a suspended liscence from a ticket a year ago for 8 mph over in a 50 zone that they never put into the system for me to pay. so now i have to walk/bus to the courthouse and fork over lots of $$$ to not get arrested on the spot.

My brother lives and works in Mammoth Lakes and has had similar issues with California's court system.

Here's the catch... he doesn't even have a driver's license.


Can't POSSIBLY understand how the state his having budget problems.

Dane Cook talked about the DMV in his show on comedy central, calling it satins a$$!^$%. That guy is hilarious!!!!!

The DMV in CA is swell, it only took them 11 months to send me my drivers license.

Oh, and being a good driver is nice, but what you really need to be worrying about is how bad all the other drivers are.

I've had a relatively clean record. I got a ticket just before I turned 21 and boy was it a stupid one. So I'm sitting at a red light in the left lane wanting to make a left turn when BAM!! I just gun it right through that light and damn near hit someone and wouldn't you know it, I cut off a cop in the process of this massacre. $150 buck that one cost me.

I really hope you were being sarcastic

So... that was either Matt, Josh, Stephen or you that cut me off on Colley Ave in Ghent?

:D

Isn't that ironic? One of those names Jolly mentioned is coincidentally mine as well. And I wish I was bull****ting. The situation was so stupid. The cop asked me if I was drinking or doing drugs and people that know me know I don't do either of those so. In actuality it really wasn't as bad as it sounds. Not that it was good, but I stopped with plenty of space before nailing anyone and the cop was just watching me. What I'm guessing set me off was it was late at night and there was no traffic. I had been sitting at a red light for way too long and when my peripheral vision caught the other direction's green light it set me off so I just slammed it. Regardless I don't think I got anything short of what I deserved.

Well, I'm always going to the Fairgrounds coffee shop on that very street, so it might have been. Also, Stephen LIVES on Jamestown Crescent, which turns into Colley. You darn beach kids. Driving on Norfolk's roads.
