Honda ends in Ditch After Teen Girl hits Gas.

So, my wife and I had just gotten to the grocery store just as two teen girls came out of the store, about 15 and 16 would be my guess.

The one driving kind of laughs at my little smarty and gets in the car. The 15 yr old smiles and gets in. I walk by their Honda, and notice a Dent and some rubber coming off the passenger rear of the car, and think, hmm first car.

So, about 30 min go by and we come out, load the groceries and are on our way. Well, we have to go by Blockbuster on our way home and as we pull out and look across the street, we see the two girls, standing next to their car. But, their car is in the little drainage basin.






So, being that I never seen one in person, we run home, drop off the stuff, grab the camera, and returnable BB movies and head out.

Those are the pics from when we got there. Cops were there by then, the two girls were gone. Two boys were standing there and laughing.

This is a prime example of how crappy the Texas driver's instruction to me, is here in Texas. I laughed when my oldest went thru, and shake my head when someone drives by me, cuts me off with no signal. Then when I get up to them, shake my head and it is some Teen driver. Might as well hand them out in the cereal.

Thought you all might enjoy the pics.

Went through the same thing. Had a good friend teach mine - doesn't mean her driving record is unblemished though.

Texas driver's ed instilled in me a severe fear of driving at all that lasted until I was 20.

Ohh... so D means forward!

IDK - teens around here drive like their life is not in any risk, while many adults don't obey many driving laws and will turn every corner without a signal and ensure that they speed around every RR crossing gate no matter what's coming...

i was born in texas, have family there. let me tell you guys. it is really scary to go visit. i don't what it is with the drivers.

any way, my daughter is very god at driving. better than my EX wife. but i had something to do with that.

i enjoyed hearing my daughter tell my EX to be quiet when we all were out shopping for wedding stuff one sat. i was in the back seat and it was funny. the EX was telling her how to drive and i laughed, so i got a pretty good back smack in the leg and a good laugh from my daughter.

what a good time that was.
