Here’s another of my pet peeves and the reason why I’m so apprehensive about setting new drivers loose on the road.

I was traveling on a straight road yesterday when a car driven by a young woman came careening out of a side road. What really got to me was she never once looked to see if there were any oncoming cars.

And even when I gave her a loud honk, she just carried on without a care in the world. Good thing I was driving slowly.

I’m not the only mom complaining here. These kids are everywhere and these near-accidents are an everyday thing. They’re driving with a bad attitude and without using their heads.

What they need is a good ticking off from their parents and to be grounded until they can be more responsible drivers.
