Although, maybe you should consider simplifying your life for a little while. It seems to me you're neither responsible enough to drive safely and at least pay some kind of attention to traffic laws and basic safety, but neither are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices to correct your previous poor behavior. You're trying to find a way out of it so you don't have to suffer most or any of the consequences of your actions.There are many many options out there for you, which you aren't interested in exploring. I can sympathize with making a mistake. What I can't sympathize with is a refusal to take responsibility, learn from a mistake, and make changes to correct the underlying problem, which seems to be your attitude and/or habits.I agree with an above poster who took slight issue with your statements above. Sounds like education would be a great thing for you to concentrate on. If you're an American citizen or permanent resident, you can get grants and/or loans to go to school which should cover most or all of your expenses. If not, you can work a part-time job to supplement them, and get by. That's how many of us did it. You may have to scrimp for a few years, but I wouldn't have it any other way, now. I'm proud of the hard work I've put in and that I've never had anything given to me. I'm even more proud of the fact that I stand up and take responsibility for myself and my actions. If I mess up someone else's shit, I pay for it, no matter how tough it is on me to do. Unlike some others......like my brother. I gave my mother a car because she needed one. He came and borrowed it (supposedly short-term), kept it over a month, then blew the motor and left it sitting on the side of the road. She never got the car back. It also had my PikePass electronic toll device in it. When it was towed away, I didn't get it back, and eventually I was charged $125 for it, AFTER it screwed up my credit, since I didn't know a thing about it. Guess what? Did my brother have any adverse consequences for his actions? Nope. But my mom did (no car), and I did (screwed up credit). Sounds to me like you're the kind of person my brother ended up being. Your actions reverberate to others, and in the case of the behavior you seem prone to, they can be devastating consequences.I'll go ask the family of the 19-y/o kid who was killed on a motorcycle a few weeks ago just in front of my house how they feel about the guy who was street-racing and ran over their son.Awwwww, but that could never happen to you, could it? 'Cause you're careful when you do it, right???</blockquote>
