31 Days

On 17 February, I was stupid and slightly egged on by my cousin. I punched the accelerator and shot up to 100mph for only two seconds when, around the turn, I saw Fuzzy. Knowing I was busted, I pulled over and got my ticket. Luckily, I had seen enough of those police chase to know better and cooperated. The officer was kind enough to not lock me up for the weekend.

On 23 June, I pled guilty to the charge to which I was fined and had my license suspended for 31 days. Today, I went to DMV to settle the matter. Though they didn't take my license, I am not allowed to drive until 26 August. That's okay with me since I'll be coming back from my Mexican vacation that night.

The lessons learned here are: (1) there's no need to speed; (2) always cooperate and (3) it's gonna cost you over the medium term. Besides, noone can outrun a bullet or the transmission from the police's radio.

Drive safely y'all!
