For some reason, a lot of you were super suspicious when I asked you about that time about the time you got away with it last week. I don’t know why! I’m not a cop. I thought we’d established that much by now. But here are your true stories of the times you skated repercussions for something crazy.
[Welcome back to Countersteer, where we ask you to tell us your greatest stories of success and failure, then we pull the very best of them to share with the rest of the world.]
Looks, cars are our tickets to freedom. And we won’t know exactly what that freedom is unless we test the limits every now and then. As long as nobody gets hurt, it’s to be expected, really.
I would like to be clear that endangering your safety and that of other people is never okay, so, please, if you plan to speed or do something reckless, do it on a track.
Thankfully, most of you acknowledged that these things happened when you were young and dumb. We can all enjoy these stories, but they’re also lessons to all of us.

Good thing the cop didn’t get a good view of the car.
