Default how to make bad decisions...

In the US you can be pulled over for a minor issue with your car/bike and receive a "fix it" ticket. You have a week or so to get the issue fixed and then show it to a cop to prove that you have repaired the problem.

This lady didn't get it done after 6 months which she didn't think was her fault (!) and she then proceeds to make a series of bad life decisions:

I think it was her arrogant belief that she should be allowed to drive a shonky vehicle around with no come back, despite have been previously warned to fix it, that sealed her fate.

So many people like her, who think that a fairly sensible piece of legislation shouldn't apply to her.
