Lessons in Life and Driving


You know that poster about everything we need to know about life we learned in Kindergarten? Let's see if it applies to driving...

Don't hit people, keep your hands to yourself.
Oh, I think this is a match. Even though they say 'keep your hands on the wheel' in driver's ed, they also tell you not to mess with the driver lest the car become a weapon of mass destruction.

Watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Well, I know from being both a kid and a mom that Moms will do the arm bar thing for whoever or whatever is in the passenger seat (even if it's just her purse) if something happens on the road, so I'll count this one too.

In Kindergarten you learned the biggest word of all: 'LOOK'
This definitely applies, though often while driving it becomes 'LOOK OUT'...for the squirrel, bicycle, or (ahem) the Kindergartner.

Congratulations! You can rest easy knowing you've actually been learning to drive since Kindergarten!
