Caught driving with permit..court tomorrow, what do I do?
I got caught driving with my permit. It was my first time driving alone and at the time I was taking my eng 101 class. While I was writing my paper, I got invited to go to the movies with some friends. Being a teen in the summer time, going out isnt a debate. I snuck out and took the car, not even 5 min down the road I get pulled over for headlights. Trust me, I was a nervous reck
I've never gotten myself into serious trouble before. I'm not that teen that goes out and drinks, so I dont want you guys thinking I'm one of THOSE reckless teens. The highlight of my summer is taking my college summer school classes.
I know that my actions would have harmed people and I only thought of myself & not the what ifs in an emergency of taking the only vehicle. I know of the highly likely consequences as well. As smart as I am in school, I wasnt smart enough to turn on something as simple as my headlights. It was reckless & stupid, not to mention I ruined my mom's reliance on me for driving myself to school
The incident happened last month&I could be getting my license Aug 7,Im ashamed that I couldnt wait less than 2 months for something Ive been waiting 16 years for.
My court date is tomorrow and Im a total wreck. I know to dress properly and to take it like an adult. But what happens? What do I do when its my turn to face the judge? I just need help easing my fear.
And unfortunetly, my 16th birthday is the day after. Please help..
