Driving is a privilege, not a right. It is your responsibility to educate yourself on what you need to do so you're following the laws.

Get the ticket taken care of, one way or another

I use to camp at Fairholm at Crescent Lake every year as a kid. Especially nice when you can get one of the sites right on the lake's edge.

Check out Sol Duc Hotsprings

How can you expect us to be okay with you on the road, when you admit to being a shitty driver? Driving is a privilege, not a right. You earn it by passing the test. Test is not suppose to be easy. If you don't wan to do it right, then find alternative transportation.

You might want to clarify which Vancouver you are headed to. Vancouver, WA, which is basically Portland, OR's neighbor, and Vancouver BC in Canada. Both are accessible by driving north on I-5 and I-205.

Near Lake Crescent (which was my favorite place to camp in my youth) are the Sol Duc Hotsprings. I don't know if it is open or closed when you decide to go on your trip, but might be worth checking out if you're int he area.
