[Ken Hayes]

I've had a revoked license for quite some time now and I still drove. It was basically just to work and back but none the less it was still against the law.

I was on my way to work one morning around 5:45am driving my buddies Olds with a wrong plate on it. I pulled up to a traffic light with a cop right behind me. Stupid ass me, I put the plate in the back window instead of on the bumper where it should be. Light changed green and the red n blues came on. This was Feb 2 1995 and it was cold out. I pulled over and got out of the car and started walking back to the cop car and put my hands in my coat pockets..........big mistake, as the cops both jumped out with guns drawn. Take your hands out slowly he said and I said I did it because I was cold. Anyways, I got arrested and then a few weeks later went to court. The woman judge asked if I've ever been in jail before.........yes I said but only for overnight. Well Mr. Hayes, your going for longer this time. She said 30 days in Wayne County jail. Wayne was too full so I ended up at Macomb County jail in a cell with about 20 other guys that were there for anything from traffic to murder. I ended up only doing 10 days and then was let go.

That 10 days was the longest 10 days in my life but I ended up learning my lesson from it and haven't really driven since then. My lawyer said I could probably get my license back in 2025 but don't count on it. Shit, by then I'll be 79 years old (if I make it that long) and will be too scared to drive.

Nancy, I'll bet you a dollar to a donut, that your daughter will also learn her lesson.
