Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Safety

Tom,

I completly agree with you. My Dad told me right when I got my license that everybody at 16-17 thinks they know how to drive, or can take thier car to the max. I always kept this in the back of my head. Tonight for example, Im with my friend Ryan. We are in a 1992 Ford Taurus. We are blowing through stop signs, going over 100MPH, chasing some truck around. Sure I had a blast, but when we were talking about it afterwards, He was saying "Oh I know the limits of the car." Knowing the limits is one thing, but road conditions, tempature, etc, all play a big part. Im 17, and I NEVER drive fast in my Chevelle unless Im on the freeway and there is nobody there and I have the gas and money or whatever. Even when Im feeling confident in myself at whatever unsafe thing I do, I always here my Dad telling me that. The only problem with changing the law to 18, would be getting to school and work. Perhaps a work and school license only till 18. I know that my Dad isnt just pulling this knowl! edge out of thin air. I dont want to screw up, or wreck my Chevelle. I listen to him, because its his choice to let me drive. Not my decision.
