Took the Boy for his drivers permit today!

(I'm feeling drained)

So hey ya'all! I took the boy for his permit test today. He passed. So I let him drive home from the exam station. All was cool, we were both doing fine. My only sermon to him these past weeks has been to watch out for the other guy. He has been driving around the farm, and is pretty good actually. So I tell him we'll take the backroads. Easy enough, right? We're going about 50 mph, when a semi thinks he will proceed through his stop sign as we are coming over a hill.....all I can utter is..stop, stop, stop. My poor son's eyes are as big as saucers, and my heart skips a beat...he is able to stop our car 2 feet prior to us being toast...

My son says, why did he do that mom? I say because he's an asshole, and teach him the most valuable lesson on the road. People are crazy....

I can't even vlog about this well enough to express my anger for that semi driver. Good thing I left my guns at home.

Doesn't matter if your the best driver in the world, there's always an asshole to come from nowhere and spook the living daylights out of you.

Glad your both safe and well.

Peace, Big Dxx

Wow. thats a experience never to forget. I just had my 15 years driverlicense anniversary. And i saw many things, on my bike, in my car in a truck even on the vorklifttruck.

The one thing he has to know expect the unexpected, always look around you. And now he has this experience, the thing he has to do know for learning purpose is to get the situation back, and think about the escape routes.

I learned that on my bike. Before i enter a crossing what can i expect, someone that drives thru a stopsign, a ambulance a kid on a bycicle etc.. Even if you don't have scary moment, this mental trainging wil help you everywhere.

This way one find the peace inhimself and one doesn't get the shakes when it almost got wrong. As you said, people are crazy.
One has to drive as a sane person between the crazy's
