Refexes count for a lot here, Gracie…

She won’t even be able to reach the pedals.

Poor Gracie. Your feet wouldn’t even reach the pedals, honey. You’re just going to have to wait, just like the rest of us did.

Great question for the driver’s test. Keep them $#%%@* teenagers off the road.

All potential drivers must be able to: change a flat change spark plugs change air filter change oil locate and troubleshoot fuses change wipers read dipsticks check air pressure change batteries

Have I left anything out?

Potrz, how about “drive without texting”? That would be one of my main concerns about drivers.

LOL! I like this one!

How about adding “know how to read a map” to the list?

don’t need maps anymore since GPS

potrzebrie To quote Jeff Foxworthy (sp) If your girlfriend has a pair of jumper cables in the trunk of her car, and knows how to use them, You’re from Minnesota. That is one you missed.

Oh Gracie! You are tooooo young to drive Papi’s car. Wait till you get old enough then you can learn how to drive a car anyway. :-) smile!

MisngNola, I agreed with you 100%! I have my pager but, I cannot use it while I drive period. I have to keep focusing on the road that is most important positively. I want everyone have their safeties and make sure to keep paying attention while driving on the roads.

I agree w/ hausof7mau - Jump start a car should be on the list as should checking radiator. (Especially the part about knowing to let it cool before opening.)

I have to keep telling people that if they call me while I’m driving, I’m not going to answer them. They call me anyway when they know I’m driving.

“Are you here yet? Are you here yet?”

Gracie’s not going to drive not because she’s underage, but also because she won’t reach the accelator and brake.
