lol, I remember, the day after I got my license, I got pulled over by a cop. I was driving a minivan, as my dad had my car at the airport (he didn't want to leave his there), and I had two friends in back. It was really rainy, and I needed to change lanes. I couldn't see, so I asked them if it was clear, they said yeah. Well, i changed lanes, and instantly, I see flashing red and blue lights. So, I think "o crap" and I pulled to the side. He had been in my blind spot, and I almost sideswiped him. I also couldn't find my registration and insurance, as it was in my stepmoms purse at home. I amazing got off with a warning, and my parents weren't mad at all.
So, drive safe. Buckle up. Check your blindspots, and don't trust your friends when you ask them if it's clear.
