    Ok, what do I belong in? Do I belong in a trash dump? Do I belong in a cemetary? Do I belong to living on a freaking park bench?

    Honestly I don't care as long as you are not sharing the same roads my family drives. Go have a happy life selling pot to stoners for all I care as long no one is forced to do anything they don't want to.

    OP ...go back to Jersey! And NYC.
    You have a wealth of resources here for info .
    And here's why .
    After my DUI 21 years ago i had a tough time being insured but i found a company at home that said will you run Ny and nj ? ...yep !...long story short I got good at it and made decent money ...learn it , live it ,know it .
    And you will be indespenceable plus not much will bother you again or scare you .
    I've since retired from NYC after doing it weekly for years but still do Jersey and out state ny .
    PM me anytime and I'll do what I can to help you .

    Also, this is my first incident of any kind. My only problem with what you said is how the heck am I gonna pay the fines off if I can't drive even a four wheeler? Give me a decent answer to that. You can't. So don't even give me that crap. You don't know me. I will fight for what I want. I fought for this job and I'm gonna do whatever I can to keep it for now. If and only if my license gets suspended, that when I am done. Cause if my license is suspended, I can't drive a truck, and I can't drive any other type of vehicle. So, I'm totally sunk. I have no other way of getting income other than helping my family out with yard work and stuff such as that. And my family is dirt poor. So, 90% of the time, I have to do it for free or for food or other things. And that ain't gonna help me out with paying the fines. If you have a better idea, please tell me.

    Get a local job, and use public transport, Uber, Lyft, etc. There are options. See if you stop playing the victim and think you might actually be able to grow in life.

    I will tell you this. In Bertie county NC, we don't have the luxury of those things. All there is out is farming jobs and most of them are about to close down because they can't make any profit anymore. There is next to nothing in other fields of work except for places that don't hire felons. And yes I do have a felony from twelve years. I have kept my nose clean since and have not had any charges since then until now. So, if you still think that I should just go and sell pot and get myself back in jail, you are sadly mistaken. I am doing everything I possibly can to avoid that again. Even if it means not having anything. I would rather die than go back to jail.

    Want my advice? Slow down in turns I almost clipped a sign in NJ because of the stupid ### turn. It has a sloped curb for truck run up onto but then punch a hole and put a sign there. Idiots. I ended up using the oncoming traffic lane to complete the turn without incident.

    The drivers in the NE have half the mental capacity of everyone else. You have to be the boss or bad stuff will happen.
    Get a good lawyer, go somewhere without forced dispatch. I’ll be changing to one next year. Forced Dispatch is a joke

    It was at a tight intersection where traffic was refusing to give me room manuever. I was focused on not hitting cars or injuring someone.

    Nope. Sorry Kitten, have at it. A new state is always motivating.
