“Teen Drivers Safety Week?” What About Their Parents?

The Blogster appreciates those massive, expensive highway signs that during snow storms alert us to “slippery conditions possibe,” or even the occasionally helpful alert to a crash a few miles up the road. But this week’s blitz to highlight teen safety (My favorite, of course, is “Hang Up and Drive”) seems a little misplaced. From whom are they learning their bad habits? It’s not the DMV inspector who tested them on parking during the driving test. After another morning drive on I-91, when the Blogster yet again proved that 65 mph is a hindrance to traffic flow, I got to the final red light before the Capitol. The car along side me at the light was operated by a woman of a certain age who, of course, was so important, she just had to be on her mobile phone.
