The other day, on my way home, I got held up at an intersection by a crash right in the middle. Every car passing through, regardless of which way they were going, had to swing out really wide to get around. When it was my turn, I too pulled really far forward before I turned left. As I was doing so, I noticed that the two drivers were people who I go to school with. They were both talking somewhat frantically into cell phones, presumably with their parents. At first I was sympathetic. I'd hate to be in that position. But then I was a little mad. Reckless teen drivers are the reason my insurance is so high. Everyone has to start driving sometime, and everybody is going to make a few mistakes; I just wish they would be considerate of the fact that what they do affects not only themselves, but all teens, albeit indirectly.
I totally agree. There should be laws preventing stupid people from getting their licenses as teenagers. Every time a hillbilly embraces his or her idiocracy and gets into an accident, he or she creates a new statistic for my insurance company to look at and make glittering generalities about me.
