i got pulled over by the police ：(

After taking his mother to hospital, police stopped him in Chatham, alleging an unindicated lane change and reporting him for driving without due care. His mother offered to pay the likely £100 fine; he fears points, another bus-lane penalty, and an £8 charge despite a £40 authorization. He calculates only about £550 month-end net profit, considers selling investments to pay debt, and questions continuing delivery work.

The recurring escape cycle intensifies: monetized autonomy attracts him, but risk, debt, boredom, and rule-avoidance push him toward retreat.
