My Drivers Ed. teacher, Mr. Fragile, always went to sleep in the passenger seat and right before he settled in for his nap, he would always say "Just drive wherever. The only rules I have are that we don't cross state lines and you don't try to take the car "Mud bogging".. again." <BR/>For those of you not familiar with the term "mud bogging" it's where you purposely drive your pimped up monster truck into the mud and try to get stuck on purpose. <BR/>I only did it once in the little Toyota Camry car used for Drivers Ed. and we didn't even get stuck but for some reason, he made it a rule from then on out.<BR/>He also had a bad habit of waking up, mid-dream maybe, and immediately stomped on the break that he had on his side of the car. <BR/>A lot of people got "break tests" on the highway because of that and they always flipped me off and it wasn't even my fault! I didn't hit the break! I was busy holding the gas pedal down on the floor!Tracy Rambles On And Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928404796336909746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-68106129171294181492009-03-29T21:15:00.000-05:002009-03-29T21:15:00.000-05:00I hate getting stuck behind student drivers who ar...I hate getting stuck behind student drivers who are crawling through an intersection to make a left. The kind where the light turns green, and by the time they are halfway through, the light turns red again.<BR/><BR/>And I will admit to being one of the student drivers that would turn on the left turn signal when turning right, and vice versa.
