was told by her docs that she can't drive for six months in case she has another one. It's the law. She said all she has to do is "pray harder" and kept driving, with her Talibangelical church pastor supporting her decision to be a scofflaw. My brother turned her into the DMV after all efforts at reasoning with her failed. Her religious bullshit destroyed my family.
