Last friday I lost my license, why? well, in short, I'm an idiot.

The day started like a usual crappy day, you wake up, late for work because you slept over. Your hair is a mess, you feel hungover because you slept 3-4 hours instead of the usual 6-8, and all because I bought a new game, and as poor as I am to prioritize. I buy it 22:30 just so I can "check it out" before I have to sleep.

Couple of hours later, I realize I have to go to bed, and I do. Just to be awaken by my boss telling me to hurry up and get to work. (my dad)

I then get dressed with the first thing I see, which is a black hoodie, with some grey sweatpants just to close the deal.

Get in the car, rush off to work. And by rushing I don't mean driving like a madman. I drive after the conditions. always have, always will. Hopefully.

Then there comes a straight road with nothing but river on one side and a cornfield on the other.

Without thinking I slowly put on some more gas so I'm up to 90 Km/h (about 57 miles per hour)

One of the reasons I drove that fast was that until late february, the speed limit at that road, was 80km/h. And I usually drive -+10 of the speed limit. by habit, not a rush.

Suddenly there's a woman in a reflex west waving me in a line with some other cars.

I panicked, the cars in front of me had seen the woman and slowed down appropriately, so only a few of them got a speeding ticket. The guy in front of me is driving a audi a6 coupe probably worth 3-4 of my year salary, he gets a speeding ticket for driving 25km/h to fast to a total of 85km/h. at first he yelled at the woman not knowing this was a police officer, the police officer said calm down or we charge you with obstruction of justice. And he was quiet.

But all I could think of was, Shit! He was driving 25km/h to fast, and was driving in total 85km/h. And slowed down beforehand. I didnt, how damn fast was I driving!?

When she was done calming the idiot in front of me down, coming towards me. She looked tired and mad.

She asked me the usual questions, license and registration please. I gave it while asking if she was okay. she looked at me and then looked at my license not saying a word.

after the uncomfortable silence she asked, do you know how fast you were going. Not knowing the answer I said that I had no idea because I was late for work and stressed.

86km/h.. Do you know what that means? I said, no I'm afraid not, but I have a idea. thinking it was a huga ass fine.

It means your license will be revoked. along with a fine of 6500kr(about 1100$)

being shocked I asked what the line was between a ticket and losing my license.
"25km/h you get a ticket for 6500kroner, 26 km/h and you also lose your license."

She then sat in my car asking routine questions and making me sign some papers.
being the nice dude i hope I am, I signed smiled when she asked me questions hoping she would give me some slack because I was 1km/h from not losing my license.


But no.. She said you can drive to work today but when you get there, you park for good. for at least 3 months. I smiled said have a good weekend and drove off.. without my precious license.

On the way to work I thought of the basic stuff you do when you lose your license.
How will I get groceries? How will I drive on vacation in 2 months and of course. I hope my dad don't kill me.

He didn't btw.

He was oddly reassuring telling me that we are a family, and if I need help to shop for groceries etc I could call him. I love my dad!

So that's the unfortunate story about how I lost my license.

One tip to all drivers out there. Drive like someone is always watching!

Peace!

Reading you blog... speed limit is 80, you are afraid of going 10 over... are you from Norway? Scrolling back up - YES you are from Norway, easy guess )

So all the horror stories I heard from norwegian drivers about speeding fines are confirmed (because word of mouth is just word of mouth, but once it is on TL, it is official!). I guess you are still lucky walking freely, I heard that if you cross 30 km/h over, you get jail time, is that true?

I am glad I knew all this before I went to Norway with my own car, went everywhere strictly by limits, scared as shit ... but got the best mielage ever (well under 6 l/100 km with my 15 years old car). It has also positives

Aw come on. This officer has no heart. Seriously. I've been pulled over after drinking ONE beer, (already sufficient for me to lose my license and respond a lawsuit here), and after some talk with the officer he knew I was 100% ok to drive and I havd 0 infractions so he let me go. If you were as cool with this all as you were and she still did this I really despise her, you were ONE km/h above the line. T_T

Thx guys appreaciate your comment's.
@opisska over 30 km/h you raise your probation drivers lisence by another 2 years. but it depends on the case I guess. Might go to jail for 2-4 weeks for 36km/h over the speed limit :/

Ouch. I'm in canada and got hit for doing 31km over (131 on highway 400) one day. Luckily our speeding fines are not that bad. I got an expensive ticket (I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was a couple hundred). Here you don't lose your license unless you do more than 50km over. If I had been doing 29 over instead it would have been a LOT cheaper.

Those fines are ridiculous. On the other hand it seems to work pretty well to prevent fast driving. Over here everything gets slowed down more and more every year. My home town's main street was 100km/h 2 years ago, now it's down to 70 and soon it's going to be 50 I guess, LOL.
