I Suck at DrivingThe title says it all, I truly do suck at driving. Three speeding tickets, 1 traffic violation and a traffic wreck (which was my fault) all in about 1 months time.
I do have to say, some of these tickets and even the wreck were some bogus s#*t if you ask me. The first ticket I got started out with some lady cop thinking it would be cool to give people tickets for speeding on an on-ramp. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to speed up on ramps leading to major highways. She gave me a ticket for going 9 over the speed limit (only 44 mph) on the ramp which leads to a major highway with merging traffic going 60-70 mph. Absurd. This ticket was on my way to the pokerroom.
Let's see, oh, now we got the traffic wreck. This one just boggled my mind. We were at an intersection waiting to turn left, once again, going to the pokerroom. As we get the green light a cop car comes kareeming through the intersection. The girl in front of me slams on her brakes and barely dodged getting T-boned as I ram her from behind not even having a chance to touch my brakes. The cop did not have his lights on nor did he have his siren on. Right after we wreck, the cop turns his lights on, slams on his breaks, then books it never to be seen again. It turns out, there was no cop on call according to the other cop who did our wreck forms. At least I didn't get a ticket for this one.
The next one actually pissed me off the most. We're going down a four lane, undeveloped highway. Long story short, it's a huge community and with the bad market no development is going on, it's just a huge roadway with absolutely no traffic, wide open roads, and low speed limits. So I usually go about 15 over the speed limit on that road. Some undercover cop car pulls up to me and is straight up tailgaiting me....like a couple yards from my card. So, my initial reaction is to speed up. I do so and she again follows me for another 1/4 mile as I speed up more. Turns out it was an undercover cop and she cites me for speeding. Rediculous ticket #2.
The last tickets were actually ones I deserved. I was going going 54 in a 35. The cop reduced my speeding to 44 and also gave me a ticket for not having my drivers license, and at that time I didnt have my insurance or registration on me so it could've been two more tickets.

Point in case, I suck at driving, and was thinking about getting a used Ferrari (2000 - 2005 360 Modena like the one above). Some of my friends have jokingly advised me not too, but I still am. :) Maybe the cops won't be able to catch me now.....
