I fucked up BIG TIME

Ok well. Here it goes. Feel free to call me a fucking moron. An idiot, whatever you want. Because I am. I literally feel like the biggest fucking loser on the planet right now, and it's NO ONES fault but my own. I will repeat it again, I'm literally the dumbest motherfucker alive hands down, bar none.

If any of you could give me a hand with this, I'll appreciate it immensely, if not, feel free to shame me for how stupid I am, and being THE reason FRS/BRZ drivers get shit. It's because of people like me, because there are idiots in this world as big as me.

Anyways, I needed to go make a quick run to Shoppers, so I went. On the way out I got into my car as usual, turned off traction control and started leaving the parking lot. Now, there was a Challenger meeting, and I drove by somewhat quick (but honestly not close at all to the cars). I stopped at the stop sign, turned out and there was a sweeping corner after the stop sign. I stepped on it, and midway through this long sweeping corner shifted (yes I know I'm a fucking moron who doesn't know how to drive) well the car stepped out on me and I over corrected and on the way back around I hit a wooden sign (the construction ones held down by the sandbags if you know what I'm talking about). Well, I fucked up the fender, but no one was hurt luckily, except my ego. The challenger drivers were at this point yelling what a fucking idiot I was, which I agreed, and parked in a Tim Hortons across the street. There a few people walked up, helped me move the sign out of the road, and a lady was calling the police. Anyways, I spoke to them, and a car came to do an accident report. While I'm talking to this guy a few of the Challenger drivers ran over and said I was driving like an idiot and flung some rocks up at their cars leaving the parking lot (which I didn't, but nonetheless the police officer had to go take witness statements). He checked the Starbucks surveillance which confirmed I WASN'T fucking up their cars or posing any threat like they said, but he also checked the Shoppers security footage, which showed me hit the sign.

As it was bone dry, and the Challenger drivers were mad, the police officer really had no choice but to give me a ticket for Careless Driving. Which I deserve 100%, no doubt about it. I'm not going to argue for 1 second that this wasn't my fault. Only ME, being a complete idiot did this to myself.

Here's my problem. I'm 18, I'm in the military, and I can barely afford the car as it is. With this ticket, and the insurance claim, I will be so fucked I don't even know where to start. The thing is, the car is leased. So now it's going to have an accident on the title, I can't afford to lose the car because I keep getting moved around the country for work, and since it's leased I can't afford to get rid of it. I know I have to pay for this, and far more than the $490 ticket. But if my insurance triples I don't know what to do.

I'm really really sorry guys, I'm the young idiot who doesn't know how to drive and gives you guys a bad name, and raises insurance premiums. I know now, it shouldn't have taken something like this for me to learn my lesson but I'm an idiot. I'm really sorry.

But do any of you know what to do? Plead not guilty is #1 but I don't even know what to say, it WAS my fault, and there is evidence. But I can't afford to lose my license, and I can't afford for my insurance to triple. Any advice would be really helpful.

Ugh I'm so sorry guys, at least no one got hurt. I'm sorry again.
