driving almost 2 years

*no defects.
*1 speeding fine
*1 talking on the phone while driving
*2 accidents, 1 involveing a car.
* no stacks in the wet yet !
*1 parking fine but got cleared.

not a bad run i think all i can say is if u settle an accident privately get the guy to write you a release and handsfree is a good idea or just pull over.
