Well, everyone was right, something did happen last night. I will be getting a lawyer, trying to get everything reduced. But NEED to sell my truck, I figure at 18, everything is wiped off, insurance wont check my record if I dont have insurance. No felonys, no one was killed, no property damage.

If MOST people would know the rules of the Road, we would not have any problems.
KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TOO PASS
I wish cops would enforce this law.
Or impeding the flow of traffic.

Some German data.
Less that 7000 people died in a car last year. Statistically, you are as likely of having a deadly accident in a car as at home or during sports (amazing, but true ...)
The majority of accidents with injured or dead happen in cities (65%). Rural highways: 29%. Autobahn: 7%
The overall trend of fatal accidents is way down despite record car density. Many reasons, most of all technology: Safer cars, airbags, ABS, EDS etc. Also harsh enforcement of DUI
But, fatalities amongst young people who just received their drivers license way up. Big problem. Traffic education has no measurable effect. Making the drivers license harder and harder had none either.
