It was my inability to control my speed, which is a long time coming now because the speed in which I drive when there's no traffic has been getting a lot worse as of late...and like you said alcohol may play a small part in that.
It wasn't that I passed out, steered the wrong way, it was that there was no possible way to maintain control of my vehicle with that angle at that speed on that slick of a surface.
If there'd been a car in front of me I simply wouldn't have been able to go that fast. You're acting like I was ****ed up, obviously I was not.
He's implying that I didn't learn my lesson merely on the fact that I wasn't thinking about anyone else but what he doesn't seem to realize is that I acknowledge the fact that I ****ed up and that I'm angry at myself. He cares exactly why, but it's never that simple. Speeding in general is wrong and puts others at greater risk, the issue was my inability to override the urge to speed. I have to control my speed, especially on side-roads in in-climate whether.
I've driven over 40 miles high on pot and completely intoxicated. Never under those specific conditions, and I wasn't speeding, but I was more in control in those circumstances. I was driving under the speed-limit because of how pot messes with your senses.
The problem was the incessant nicotine, my nervousness, stress; I had a need for speed and to get away and go home as fast as possible. I need to quit drugs altogether, and sort my life out.
I see this as an opportunity to do just that.
I'm an alert ****ing driver, on top of all that I've driven over 40 miles going over 40 hours without sleep in a ****ing van. Driving while passing out for a second every few minutes is very difficult, worse than being baked on pot or wasted drunk; I still managed to pull it off.
The aforementioned pot and sleep deprivation were during torrential downpour btw.
But I was more in control in that I was able to go the speed limit
For the past couple months, just suddenly, I've been taking trips to and fro suburban streets pushing 90 in a 45 zone, drunk. I'm talking passing 5 or 10 cars in the median and running lights. That's where I've really been ****ing up. I do believe the recent alcoholism has everything to do with that lack of control.
Sleep deprivation. marijuana, and alcohol are all substances that can impair your ability to drive. I think your confidence of your driving capabilities, under those conditions, is misplaced. You're the type that seems to think, "Well, I've done all of that before and nothing happened."
It doesn't matter. Any of those factors increases the probability that you will encounter/cause a traffic accident.
Sleep deprivation isn't a substance.
But you're absolutely right, it was the placebo that started me down a reckless driving habit. The placebo is gone, and I'm at serious risk of being imprisoned or losing my ability to drive or worst of all killing someone from here on out.
Then there's skyrocketed insurance.

you ****.
Pretty girls shouldn't employ ugly lingo.
The only bad thing here, for real, is the insurance point buttrape system, that NWO bullshit.
There's no need to skyrocket my goddamn insurance. I'll just speeding and stop paying it. There aren't enough marches on Wallstreet, hundreds of wealthy people need to be getting jumped by gangs of the middle-class on a daily basis the way the money is these days.
Millions middle-class tech savvies needs to hack into billionaire accounts and rob them for every penny. That's one million less comp. programmers for the industry, is it really worth the influx of cash at low pay for the uppers fighting the good fight?
