Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Yes I am certain I have. When I worked for Fresenius my coworker and I were in training. We had to travel to different locations and she told me her car was in bad shape. We came up with the idea of meeting up early in the Walmart parking lot and I would drive us to our destination. Unfortunately it was summer and neither of our cars had good air conditioning somehow. I was able to find a car to drive though, my parents car. Technically it should be part mine too.

We were driving north for three days one week and we had to be there by 8 am. I remember north of Brazil where they had 4 lanes a school bus came and I lost my drivers ed knowledge all of a sudden. She was right and I was wrong. Don’t rat me out to anyone official. I wasn’t even near the bus but I couldn’t remember if I needed to stop. I know to stop on a two lane road, but for a 4 lane.

Maybe part of my problem was all the new information they were cramming down our throats that week. I couldn’t process the new and keep the old in my mind. I don’t know, but I was like a blank page at that moment. I have always been super careful about school buses since Beaver did what he did back in high school. I think that put us all on high alert in my class and in the Dugger area in general. He blew off the stop sign when a bus had the sign up; he knew better than that.
