If you are accused of driving with a suspended license, you probably shouldn't show up to a virtual court hearing while driving.

    This is up there with the cat filter video for funniest shit I’ve ever seen. This is some 30 Rock level comedy writing. Holy shit.

      “I’m a bit nervous with this being my first court case, so I hope you don’t mind that I’m a bit drunk”

      For real though, why was his license suspended in the first place? Like, I feel way differently about this story if the defendant is a repeat drunk driver vs someone who just didn’t pay to register their car or whatever.

        There’s also the non-zero chance he wasn’t informed his license was suspended. Not sure about Michigan laws on that though.

            Gotta love “silence is an admission of guilt” in a country where you have a right to remain silent.

        It doesn’t matter why, it’s suspended and he shouldn’t have been driving regardless of “was it right or wrong”. He dug himself deeper in the hole

    I feel kind of bad for this guy. He’s dumb, but most of us are dumb sometimes, and now he’s dumb on the internet which sucks.

        I do feel bad for him since there’s not a lot of transportation freedom in america if you can’t drive a car. Obv he shouldn’t ever drive a car again tho

      I don’t. His dumbass would eventually get someone else dead. My dumbass just perpetually gets ratios wrong in factorio and has a tendency to hyperfixate - my smart-ass realized my ADHD is likely to get myself killed driving, so I have never gotten myself a driver’s license.

        I highly recommend anyone with ADHD drive standard if they’re ever in a position where they have to learn how to drive. It forces you to focus on driving and keeps your hands busy. I used to be the same way, but I had to start driving or become homeless so I’ve been driving standard ever since.

          I uh, would clarify that I by no means consider ADHD a disqualifier from a license, I simply don’t personally have confidence in my ability.

            I used to feel the exact same way. I avoided driving until I was in my late 20’s but it’s a lot easier than you think. Drive sober and pay attention to everyone around you and you get used to it really quickly.

    This is why we need more public transport everywhere in the world. Get idiots off the street, but enable them to go to the doctor, school, work, and everything else, so we have less idiots in the future.
