WELCOME!!! To the SAN thread! I'm sure Mac will be here to welcome you shortly!
Hey, looking at your location, it looks like you're nearby! You're welcome to borrow them for a weekend or so if you'd like a true glimpse of the future!
To you especially & everyone else - be very, very cautious! Stephen passed his road test this morning!
However, just barely. Apparently got stuck behind a garbage truck and waited a bit and then passed when the truck stopped to pick up trash. He evidently went a bit over the yellow line in passing, which was a major hit. He said the alternative was to sideswipe the garbage truck!
He also got another major hit (each of these like 10 points off when max off is 24) for not noticing that the driver of the semi passing him on the freeway was brushing his teeth at the time.
Guess I didn't know that was a relevant thing to be watching while driving!
Anyways, as of this morning our insurance premium went up another $487 for a 6 month period (see, I was exaggerating yesterday when I said $500!
).
In case you're wondering, our car insurance is now 4 TIMES as much as it was 20 months ago before two teens started driving!
