Can... but don't want to... Paying for gas is eating a hole through my wallet...

As for stupid... I guess a little too much. Things includes:

-Driving ~250miles on barely 3 hours of sleep
-Going 80-90mph on the highway just to try and get home faster
-And lastly... doing a rolling stop and not noticing a cop was camping nearby, lol

Yeah, I can drive. I've had my license for ~4 years, since I was 18. I actually passed Driver's Ed when I was 15, but I just stalled getting my license since I really had no incentive to drive. Something that is exploited by my mom, having me drive her everywhere. To be honest though, I'd drive her wherever simply because not driving her might mean she'll try and get a license herself, and she's kind of one of those people who you do NOT want behind a wheel.

Only major mark on my driving record was getting caught in a speed trap resulting in me getting ticketed for going 44mph in a 30 mph zone.

I was driving ~85 on the freeway and actually changed lanes in order to let some speeding maniac pass me. It turned out that "speeding maniac" was someone in a cop car....
As for rolling stops, I've heard of stories where towns get a significant amount of income from traffic tickets because they position cops in places where people tend to do rolling stops (specifically on the bottom of a steep hill). But all in all I don't see any reason why people can't do rolling stops in intersections that have little to no traffic.

Nope.
Tried once, and I ran into another car while my bro was screaming at me to hit the brakes. 😀

No, my father was teaching me once but it was kinda hard and it just got annoying so I stopped.
Kinda wish I had continued the lessons though

Yep I'm driving and have my licence for a year now, but most of the time I still use public transportation like the subway, train or bus. Is way easier to move around and don't have to worry about finding a spot to park my car

I drive, but not very often since I don't really need to go anywhere.

Well, I have a license if that counts. I really HATE driving though... especially with my mom in the car. And I don't actually have a car anyway except for my parents that are 4 hours away from me on campus. XD

Used to drive a Nisan Centra... now I am on a RAV4

I cut people like hell is going after me, but without getting over my toes, a couple of hits, but they never found the culprit ^_^ and there, but nothing mayor, and drove without a license for over a year... don't tell the police!!!

yes I can drive. But I just drive in the summer since I don`t have snow tires on my car.

the worst thing I did was during my first driving lesson.I was driving slowly and I had no idea what to do. I was scared and paniced and hit the break really hard. My driving teacher ended up having lots of bruise.

I've been driving for two years, but I still have my provisional -_____- I failed my driving test twice, the first time because out of COINCIDENCE, the moment I was getting into my car to take the test, the engine failed. The second failure was due to my speeding & failure to parallel park.

My record is actually pretty good. I haven't hit anything, and I haven't been pulled over for anything yet (knock on wood knock knock). I'm just really terrified of anything bad happening. The thing is I'm more terrified of getting in trouble with my parents than dying/getting hurt. When I'm on the road, I'm really timid. I let everyone pass me and spend extra time looking left and right just so I can do things correctly.

—a result of my dad's hard-ass training 😀

It was kinda stupid. I mean the guy could have easily let me off with a warning. But it was like the end of the month... but still... I still call it douchebag move of him. lol

Yes. I drive all the time. Fast too. Unless it snows - my only vehicular kryptonite.
