Well your experience has been more... exciting... than ours was as we went through taking 3 sons through driver's training but we had our moments, too. And I hope you are fully recovered from your accident! Your nerves will take awhile.
Also, congrats on your Eagle Scout. A great accomplishment especially in these dark days.
He’s not quite an Eagle Scout yet ... one more badge to finish, and then his project. He’s got something to do for the county parks department and is getting the materials and paperwork organized. He has until next April, when he turns 18, to finish.
My left knee, which hit the steering column, still hurts sometimes, and my nerves are okay most of the time. The collision was on a two-lane road, and the other driver pulled out of the oncoming traffic and drove straight into me, didn’t even slow down. I get a little rattled on the two-lane roads now, especially if anyone gets the urge to pass!
I feel reasonably safe in the van, but we have a little compact 4-door sedan for our teenagers to drive in, and it’s like being in a SmartCar compared to the van! In the passenger seat, I feel like mailboxes are going to hit me right in the teeth.
