> something as simple as a parking ticket is borderline life threatening

I always lived in fear of being pulled over and getting busted for not having the insurance I couldn’t afford.

Eventually get pulled over and ticketed, cough up $1000 for proof of insurance to bring to court then get a payment program to pay off $1000 fine.

Once the proof of insurance expired, begin the cycle again.

Until I finally got enough earnings to always pay my bills every month on time, my entire financial existence hinged on how often the police stopped me.
