worst part of it is you were trying to help somebody (I would have left that idiot to get himself nicked TBH and then tried to find the rest of my decent friends – there’s a point beyond which people have to learn for themselves IMO…
Then again maybe if you hadn’t hidden him away the situation could have escalated and someones rig got taken..
We all make these misjudgements though.
TBH this is another reason why I don’t currently drive,
although I am often a friendly but quite shy/quiet guy the whole attitude of car driving changes me – it brings out a lot of anger and I turn into what could easily be an arrogant gary boy who is prepared to play games with peoples lives and doesn’t care about his own life. (I am changing my attitudes these days but it took a while to mature!)
Had I actually passed my test earlier in my 20s (and I nearly scraped through, despite being at the worst stage in heavy drug use where my mind was all over the shop) I reckon I wouldn’t be on this positive website, I would either be in HMP or my mum would be putting flowers on my grave every week, to replace the ones what my passengers families tore up out of grief and anger that I had killed their loved ones.
At least you have driven well all this time beforehand at even with this incident you didn’t hurt anybody – could be a lot worse.
BTW I think once you are seen at more than 3 or 4 raves they put a marker on our car registration so traffic cops keep checking you and scrutinising your driving, so its a case of drive carefully everyone…
