That's what David said to me today after our 3rd driving lesson.
I like teaching him to drive.
It's fun.
and scary.
and makes me want to drink wine.
and buy one of these signs for added insurance.
But first and foremost it's fun.
For a 16 year old, David is a good listener and remembers what you tell him and doesn't act like he knows it all already. AND he admits it's scary driving. especially in rush hour traffic. in the dark.
Here are the top 10 rules we've covered together so far.
1. Do as mom SAYS, not as dad DOES.
2. The speed limit is just that - a LIMIT. meaning limited to that speed. the one that is posted.
3.Going 5 mph under the speed limit will NOT get you a ticket.
4.Listening to Weezer loudly while driving will not help me "relax".
5. Pedestrians have the right of way even if they run directly in front of your car. Especially if they run directly in front of your car.
6. When you turn left into 2 lanes of traffic you must look BOTH ways.
7. That's great you listened to Queen's "We are the Champions" while driving with dad and "did just fine". Refer to rule #1.
8. Allowing at least 12 inches between you and the car ahead of you at a stop sign or stoplight is a good idea.
9. GRADUALLY slowing down is easier on the neck muscles.
and last but not least.....
10.When wondering who has the right of way when four cars approach a four-way stop at the same time? It is the pick up truck with the gun rack and the bumper sticker saying, "Guns don't kill people I do"

Mrs. Ryan, you could always remind your friend Rzdesign that owned in this case is correctly spelled "pwned." If you're a net hip person, that is.
