As a kid, its tough to realize a car weighs 3,000 lbs and is only connected to the road with 4 pieces of rubber. I've never even been in a car accident above 5 mph. Its really tough for me to imagine what it feels like, especially behind the wheel. I wish cops werent so stupid about kids skidding out in big parking lots. Ive had many friends get tickets doing donuts and practicing car control in wet and dry conditions in parking lots. It seems stupid that we're trying to understand the limits of a car and not panic in that situation and all they do is peg us with a ticket... oh well, this post isnt about police.
Sorry to hear the news Lisa (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes!
We went to the viewing last night and the funeral today. It has been very draining emotionally to say the least! At the viewing, I had to drive several kids home as they just were not prepared to see thier friend and classmate at a Mortuary (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I wish more of these kids' parents had come with them to console and to drive them! My daughter just got behind the wheel today, for the first time since last Friday....and she said she has a much better appreciation of how much you need to be aware and follow the rules of the road. I totally agree with Howard in that it should be absoultely required for kids (if they are still allowed to drive at 16!) to take a defensive driving course, in a controlled enviornment! Hug you kids everyone! Today sure made me, and everyone there, realize how our lives can change in the blink of an eye! Thanks again....you all are wonderful!
