I just quit my job.

Silverhawk79 · July 04, 2009, 12:31:28 PM

...And it's very liberating. I didn't mind working, no. The thing is...with 2 accidents in 3 days, and the very real chance of me losing my license anyways, I figured it's not worth it to tempt fate by driving some more. No more money for a while, which sucks...but I think it'll be worth it, especially since I was scheduled to work tonight. If I hit another car, or worse, a kid...my life would be in ruins, and I'd be intercourse ed. Not to mention spending $10 a day on gas, and having a citation and a ticket to deal with, one of which happened on the job.
tl;dr I QUIT LOL

So... anything special that your considering as a new job?

....................

The reasons for you to quit I understand, but you can get in the Same accident when you drive ANYTIME, whether you have a job or not. It's your responsibility as a driver to be at your utmost cautious when driving.

Getting a ticket, or hitting somebody, or hurting yourself is a risk you take every single time you drive...whether your on the job or not.

If you feel this way, then You Should not be driving at all.

I realize that, but the risks are amplified greatly when delivering pizza...you have to drive quickly, drive often, and sometimes it's difficult to focus completely on the road...if the situation were any other way, I wouldn't quit. But as it is, I'm in danger of losing my license (reckless driving ticket + some citation), and I don't want to risk it any longer.

Don't take this offensively, but you're not ready to be driving. You may have your license, but you're mentally not ready. You weren't cautious enough, which is likely what caused the two accidents, and now you're afraid that it'll happen again.

Practice more in an low-populated area, and take it slow.
'Til then, find a job that you don't have to drive much for, and take a bus if you have to.

Be in demolition derbies. You can do what you've been doing now, except legally.

Hmmm... that's actually a good idea.

AND it'd be fun as well. Or be a figure 8 race car driver. Those races are WAAAAY better than NASCAR because it's not the EXACT same car going an a continuous loop for hours on end. there are risks for crashes and poop. There's dirt tracks, and junker cars that can spew fire from the exhaust pipes.

With Silver on the road, there will be no "risks."

DededeCloneChris · July 04, 2009, 06:23:39 PM

Well, let's see what you avoided...

You're not going to crash:

-The car.
-The pizza.
-A puppy.
-A kid.
-Yourself.
-The garage.
-The car in front of you.

Well, do some training starting with this forum.

...

...Wait...

Chris, don't you mean "brake?"

Macawmoses · July 04, 2009, 07:56:26 PM

Silver in a demo derby? About time he breaks the right thing!
