Yeah, my life sucks. BoyM has had his license for a grand total of

[Midlodemocrat]

three, yes, three fucking days and the cops were just here. :eyes:

Apparently, someone thought that he and his friends were acting suspiciously up at the Tennis Courts.

I asked the cop if I could borrow his gun, but he refused. What a douchenozzle. He's supposed to be a public servant.

[flvegan]

1. "acting suspiciously"

I'm no lawyer, but I don't see that standing up in any court. Therefore, he must be found "not guilty" and go without punishment.

[rug]

35. Seconded.

[TZ]

2. Could be worse...

My supervisor's teenager had his license for a WEEK before he got into a major car accident..with one of the families neighbors..:wow:

[Midlodemocrat]

5. OMG. My worst nightmare.

[flvegan]

6. I totalled my car the day after I got my license.

Wasn't my fault, but still. Cops said both myself and my girlfriend should have been killed. Thankfully I'm still here to bug everyone.

[Midlodemocrat]

11. My worst nightmare. Seriously.

[TZ]

14. Maybe this little run in

Will make him more cautious.

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Problem is. He's actually a very good driver.

Which is comforting, but he forgets things like no one else in the car because of the ADD. I wish I could go to bed and sleep for the next ten years.

[DS1]

23. This is what I don't get

Cautious of what? Did they say he was doing donuts? So far, all we've heard is acting suspicious, from a "neighbor" who probably just hates kids hanging around. It's not even about driving.

Obviously I'm not a mom

[Midlodemocrat]

25. Here in VA, he's not allowed to have more than one person

in the car with him for the first 120 days after getting his license. He apparently gave a ride to two people, whose names he doesn't know, :eyes: at the behest of a friend. Hence the 'suspicious' behavior.

The cop said that he thought that the complaint probably came from someone who was being 'nosy', but he did stress to BoyM that he could take his license because BoyM fessed up and admitted that he had more than one person in the car.

And, the problem is, insurance wouldn't cover it if he was in an accident, or even just hit by someone else. We were trying to impress that on him; that it would cost us everything we had.

Not to mention that my heart lands in my throat every time he backs out of the driveway.

[DS1]

27. Ok, that clears it up

I don't remember any restrictions like that in NJ, and my car was packed wherever we went. We just weren't supposed to be out after dark for a few months or so

[Midlodemocrat]

29. He's killing me. That poor kid is exactly like his mother.

And that is not a compliment.

[TZ]

26. Ph I know but warier of policemen

Maybe cause they have his name now? :shrug:

[TZ]

13. Wow

Must have been a well built car...:hug:

[flvegan]

24. Guardian angel.

1985 Ford Mustang. Person passing in my lane heading straight at me. I stomped the brakes and went sideways into a telephone pole at 40 mph. Hit the pole where the frame runs up the door pillar at the windshield. Then, after the bounce, the car continued forward and I dodged several trees turning right then left bringing the metal croissant to a rest against a sapling.

One foot in either direction on that car and we'd not be having this conversation.

[mentalsolstice]

37. I scraped a car on my first day with a DL

My mom sent me out on an errand...but, fuck how can you park a Ford LTD. I mean, you're telling a teen to go get a loaf of bread in a fecking Army tank. The gods were looking down on me when I got a Toyota Corona.

[DS1]

3. To shoot the neighbors who narc'd on a teen with a new license, right?

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

4. No. To shoot BoyM. The little fucker.

[vard28]

7. Time to take the keys

That's what always happened to me and I lived to tell the tale. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Done.

[vard28]

10. I was, okay still AM

a bit hard headed, but I eventually learned. :rofl:

[FloridaJudy]

9. Hey my son had his license for a week

When he came in and told me 'I had a little accident at the drive-through at Pizza Hut'.

I thought about that for a moment, and replied, puzzled 'There is no drive-through at Pizza Hut'.

'There is now!'

[Midlodemocrat]

12. I swear. It's a miracle any of us survive this.

[vard28]

15. Garnier Nutriesse

Medium Golden Brown. Helps hide the gray hair my kid gives me.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. There isn't a hair color strong enough.

[Drunken Irishman]

16. I had owned my first car for three hours and totalled it.

When we were picking it up the lady at the dealership joked that one day a kid was pulling off the lot in his new car and was sideswiped.

I laughed.

My mom laughed.

I got home, decided to go for a drive and pulled out onto a busy road...only to slam into a car.

I was faulted for improper lookout, they speeding.

It was a messy accident where the entire front end of the car was ripped off.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. Not helping.

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

19. I thought you lived in the South?

How come you didn't ask them why they weren't tending to their speed traps? :eyes:

[Ptah]

21. Just wait until ___________

:scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Oh, God. You mean there's more to this?

I'm too old.

[Ptah]

32. Then there will be his first ______

And the next will be ______

Should I go on?


And the other stuff that you will be proud of,
so it will work out fine.

[Midlodemocrat]

33. I just want to keep him alive.

He's just like me, the poor thing. I go to sleep worrying about him and wake up worrying about him.

[Skittles]

28. you want I should kick BoyM's irresponsible ass, Midlo?

lemme at him

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Tell me where to send the plane ticket, Skittles.

:rofl:

[Skittles]

31. my virtual butt-kickings are pretty effective

and much less expensive :rofl:

[sasquatch]

34. I'm sure they're tired of coming to your house by now with all of those wild ass bunco parties

:rofl:

[DeepBlueC]

36. A reminder like that can spare a kid a lot of grief

Actually it was kind of nice of him to give you a heads-up. It's good for kids to know that people notice what they do. Friendly reminder, no consequences.
