    Default Cars...speeding...crashing.

    Who drives? Have you ever got a speeding ticket or had a horrible crash? If you don't drive, are you planning to?

    I drive, never got a speeding ticket and haven't had a crash yet. My brother was in a pretty bad crash the other week, and his car's been completely written off. But he's getting heaps of money for it. Gotta love insurance
    I keep running....I am running....
    I keep living for the day that I'm with you

    I drive. No tickets, no accidents, <s>no problem</s>. I've been involved in accidents with someone else driving, though.

    I have drove once, and that was under strict supervision of my mother, at about 5 km/h, and in an empty car park!

    Yep. I got my license 2 months ago. When I had my permit, I fell asleep behind the wheel on the highway doing 60 mph. How am I still alive? Hm...

    I stay within 5 mph past the speed limit. I'm such a good driver. I mean not.

    The first time I ever drove, I put the car in reverse and almost killed my aunt.
    But I love to drive anyway. It's just scary sometimes because I feel so inept.

    I have my restricted license. I don't drive as often as I used to though. I'm taking my last segment of Drivers Education this summer, yay!

    Been an independant driver since last October. No speeding tickets or crashes.

    I was in a car once, though, and we got rear-ended.

    I've been driving for 8 years now. That sounds strange...

    I have one speeding ticket that I got in 2003 in Dayton, OH for going 80mph in a 65mph zone on the highway.

    When I was 18 I ran off the road and flipped my car on a wet and windy road when I skidded, swerved, and lost control. I didn't hit anyone else and I wasn't hurt, but it was very surreal.

    I got rear ended by someone on my way to work last year also.

    I have absolutely no plans to drive, because:

    1. I can just walk everywhere, and for long distances, get a bus/taxi/train
    2. It's expensive.
    3. I have no interest in cars, they bore me.
    4. I would be scared of crashing, given all the accidents these days.
    5. It's more eco-friendly.
    6. I don't get out much anyway!

    So, there you have it folks. I do realize there are plenty of advantages to driving, though in my case, they're outweighed by the disadvantages.

    I got a parking ticket once for parallel parking outside my house crooked. I was tired. ;___;

    Never gotten any other tickets though. I've been rearended twice but those weren't my fault. For the second one I got more money than I paid for the car and a fancy rental car for a month for free. Woo!

    I drive like... maybe once or twice a month. I prefer to walk or carpool or... not drive. To be honest, I'm the kind of driver that gives other drivers road rage. I usually only drive to my dad's house or the pet store and back.

    2]I have family far away and want to visit them witout my mum hain to come and get me.
    3]I have the urge to go on to a one sided ramp and flip my car possibly killing me or leaving me completely uninjured or somewhere between.

    I drive and I'm awesome at it but no one else is as awesome as I~

    And I've never had bad things happen, except forgetting my friend can't park and bumped her van. *victory*
