I'm a terrible driver . The first time I took my driving test , I forgot to fasten my seat belt, so I failed.
The second time , I didn't signal when I was turning left and I failed again. 
When I finally passed and got my driving license, a police officer stopped me for speeding. 
A few weeks later , I went through a red light and hit another car .
Luckily the other car wasn't damaged , but I had to pay 350 dollars on my insurance to get my car fixed and then I ended up getting a fine for driving through the red light.
