Keep It on the Track

Everyone speeds every now and then or drives a way that does not obey the rules of the road. I have a pretty good experience of not obeying the traffic laws, such as flipping my mother’s car or even speeding up to 130 mph, and sometimes drag racing on open road. After a bunch of tickets and raising my insurance rates I came to see that I should keep the reckless driving on the track.

I always seemed to not learn from the first mistake when it came to driving, after my first car accident you would think I’d learn to obey driving laws. I had just got off work at 5pm and my co worker was outside smoking a cigarette and yelled out “go ahead and show me that you can really burnout”, as I got in my car, and of course I wouldn’t say no. I put my car in gear and took off and burned rubber in the empty parking lot, as I’m sliding out the parking lot I hear a loud pop, it’s my front passenger tire that popped and the next thing I knew I had no control of the car and ahead of me is a curb that leads into a shopping center but is about 10 feet down. At this point my car is in the air and the car lands nose first flipping the car upside down. I crawl out the car and realize I just totaled my mother’s car.

Driving fast in the car I built is my favorite thing to do and it had got me in plenty of trouble but I felt as the rush was worth it. It was a few summers ago and I had just got my turbo put in, I was on the highway on my way to the local car meet and I decide to take off, I get my car up to 100 mph then slow down, but then I want to time it this time so I get my phone out to use my timer and take off again but this time I reach up to 128 mph and I stretch it all the way to the capital blvd exit. Right as I thought...

...ea but I would be one of the people that don’t get away. As soon as my I get my car to slow down so I can turn back, there are 3 cops coming towards my car and realized I couldn’t go anywhere. The officers cars come to a halt and one of the officers tell me to throw my keys out the window and I was taken downtown for the night and was explained to, that my car will be seized by the department and will be crushed due to the illegal street modifications and I will have to attend the day they crush my car as punishment, including the several tickets I received.

Driving is a really good, fun thing to do but if you abuse the power of a car it can be tragic. It took me awhile to realize that this sport is meant to be on the track supervised, after I have flipped my mother’s car, received many tickets, and finally getting caught off the track I clearly learned my lesson.
