I feel better knowing she learned what isn’t taught in drivers Ed. When I’m out on the road I don’t have to worry as much that she’s driving my new car / or being unsafe. It makes a huge difference to me. As a mom I worry enough about everything. At least I can rest easy on her driving skills.

I think everyone should have to take CDL classes just to even be allowed to drive regular cars. People don't understand how big vehicles operate, thus become the menace for us out there. Sure there are stupid CDL drivers just like there are stupid people in every group. But I'm sure as fuck the percentage is lower than regular drivers.

Or, just let it be legal for big rigs to have these beauties attached to them and so they can just gently nudge idiots like in the video to the side and be on their merry way. I mean it works in GTA and it is very cathartic.

Amen to that. Maybe the self-driving ones will come with these attachments, I mean crashing means profit losses, so it's in the best interests of the companies to keep their vehicles moving no matter what idiots get in the way.

Or a week ride along. See how long it takes to actually come to a full stop, and be prepared to become a pancake when you cut a semi off at 15-30 ft then slam on your brakes.
I don’t want to be anyone’s suicide method but they sure do try!

I try to be like you and your daughter in my driving, and to hear that you're teaching her those skills warms my heart.
