Can you say Dukes of Hazard I lost my license for 30 days more than I can remember. I look back at some of the things I did and wonder how I never killed myself or anyone else. It's mainly due to inexperience as a driver. Unless you've been driving for 10 years you just don't realize what can happen and don't have the reaction or the correct reactions until you've experienced all that drive a car throws at you. Most kids under estimate speed when pulling out and over estimate their ability to control it.
It's not a knock on the age group it's just a fact of inexperience.
x2 on that, I was very irresponsible and had thousands in tickets and a few suspensions. I still get stupid but have def mellowed out. its been 8yrs for me but I don't think I was a bad driver at all when I was younger, I wouldn't be here today if I sucked.. I used to push the limits all the time when alone on the back roads and somehow always wore out the front tires first.
some people REGARDLESS of age or experience just don't belong behind the wheel of a powerful vehicle.
Hmm...speaking of that. I have a story for that. Back like my Junior year of HS, I was hanging out with this Korean chick I know. She was driving her auto sunfire, and I, being the asshole that I am, decided to have some fun. We came to a redlight, and without her knowing, I put the car in Neutral. Light goes green, and she tries to go...freaks out since the car only revs and wont move, then realized what happened, and through the car in drive at like 5k rpms. Neutral Drop FTW...we do a lil laughable front wheel drive burnout, and she damn near has a panic attack while hitting me, and swerving all over the road.

so you admit that you where irresponsible? looks like it to me. how many times have you been pulled over, for any thing? 99.9% of ALL TEEN DRIVERS are irresponsible.
I was for like the first week or two of having my license. Mainly because I was nervous about being on my own plus the first few days it was during a hurricane or something and I wasn't use to my Camaro since I just got it.
The tires on my Camaro were shot when I first got it and had flat spots. So that mixed with the rain and turns didn't equate out well. Never experienced those conditions before so I didn't really know what to do. Nearly lost it a maybe twice in the rain but that was it. The only thing irresponsible I did that I can remember was when I passed a whole bunch of cars in the turn lane lol.
I have only been pulled over one time. I was taking my Trans Am to have it inspected, didn't even have a sticker. Anyways it failed and on the way back a cop saw me and pulled me over. I told him my sad story and he let me go with a warning. The primer, no dash or carpet and one seat I am sure helped my case.
Pretty much after the first 3 or so weeks I was confident in driving and have never had an issue then, except for the Trans Am. Once again it was raining, plus bald dry rotten tires from 1979 and the bad ass shift kit and 430+rwtq didn't help. Nothing happened but it got pretty squirrely.
