A note about driving from my son Kyle:

Tragic Event

            Have you ever been told something to look out for but you don’t pay any attention to it because you think it won’t happen to you? This is what I did when my dad would tell me something to look out for when I was driving. He always would tell me stories of what has happened to him in the past or what happened to his friends. I listened but I didn’t fully understand because I couldn’t relate.  I never thought that these things would happen to me, so I didn’t take them seriously, until one day.

            It was around nine o’clock; my family and a few friends were in the car as we were coming back from a party. I was in the driver’s seat with a full car of passengers. My experience as a driver only went as far back as five months, which was when I got my permit. This wasn’t a lot of time but no amount of experience could have prepared me for what was about to happen.

            Right before we got home we almost got into a car crash. We saw a car cross in front of us from the other lane. At first we thought he was just turning into a driveway too fast until we saw the head lights turn and come straight for us. I hit the brakes and swerved into the oncoming lane as the other driver passed us on the right side. As he passed us he ended up taking out a few road markers as he drove into the ditch to avoid the car behind us.  After he avoided both me and the car behind, he drove out of the ditch and kept on driving like nothing even happened. This left us in a state of shock and confusion.

            When we got how we couldn’t believe what has just happened.

            We called the police and reported what happened. My dad’s stories became important to me. I realized it was very possible for anything to happen. There are a lot of crazy people out there and we always have to be aware. I never thought something like this would happen to me. This changed my viewpoint of how I can learn from someone else’s experiences.  Now when my dad or someone else tells me something to watch out for, I pay close attention so that I can avoid the same unfortunate event.

There by the grace of God go I.
