If it happens to you
As far as being "stupid" or running the risk of a ticket, I only drove home tha way and parked the car. I had no way to get home otherwise. It was a 55 minute drive. Imagine the walk. I can't call a tow truck or anything else. At the risk of boring everyone, my ex-wife and I had an agreement that child support ended when our daughters turned 18. But the stupid state of Missouri does not care. She filed claiming I should pay until they are 21. One is 21 and the other turning 23. They ageed and are retroactively docking me $1250.00 a month, seized my income tax refunds, and reported me as a bad debt to credit agencies. Yes, I have a lawyer. I have been to court twice and to hearings with the family services twice. I am deep in debt, owe money everywhere, can't afford my diabetes meds, or anything remotely close to a hamburger these days. My next court date is in June. And, I am not a young man. I'm an old dude close to retirement. Unless you are/were in my shoes, you'd have no idea how bad this gets. So I had no choice to drive it home. A friend has lent me a car and another got my car towed for me. Now I am hoping and praying it is covered under the extended warranty. I found the $50 dollar deductible and my attorney is good about me making "payments." Wish me luck. If you don't hear from me again, it went badly in June and I am living in the wilds of Alaska hiding out my final days.
