Unhappy Today is not my day

So it was a nice day today. After lunch with my mom and grandma, I decided to go for a nice drive to some outlet mall one hour away. Well I was driving down a backroad, no posted speed limits, and everyoine was going about 70. 45 minutes into the drive I see a highway patrol officer coming th other direction. He passes me and immediately turns around. I knew what was happening. Well since I didn't know the limit I slowed down to 65, and he still pulled me over.
He said I was going 74 and asked me if I knew the speed limit. I told him no since there were no posted speed limits the entire time I was driving.
Well he says all one lane roads are 55 in California, I had no idea. I know ignorance is no excuse, but seriously, how much could it hurt the state to post a speed limit every 20 miles or so.

Anyway, I'm planning on going to court and asking for driving school.


The day isn't over though. When I left the mall I saw an SUV leaving the spot next to me. I made sure to park far away and the parking lot was pretty empty. I don't understand why out of all the spots he could've parked in, he parks right next to me.
Well sure enough, I get closer to my car and I see a white mark on the upper passenger door. Luckily it was just his paint on it. But he left a pretty good size dent. . I tried chasing down the guy, but he was gone by the time i noticed the damage.

I have a headache.................

Other than the person who actually HIT my car a while back, I've been lucky enough to not have any door dings. Sorry man, that sucks.

And obviously I've had my share of 'paperwork' for driving fast. Hate it when that happens.

Man, that sucks bad!

When I read the title of this thread I thought it was going to be another one of those "I clicked my gas cap 2 times" threads... and was gearing up my twisted sense of humor.

That said... !

Dang Milk sorry to hear bud!

Yeah the 55 MPH rule here in CA caught me when I was 16 LOL Sucks, I love the driving school ability though, do it online much easier and faster to do. It's super easy if you have not done one before.

I hear ya about the SUV, people do that to me all the time, it's usually a beat up ol Honda Civic that parks next to me... frustrating, there are hundreds of open spots why do they park next to me!!?
