Desiree has almost zero experience in driving an automobile. In the last few weeks, I have been easing her into both the thought and practice of driving. The other day, for example, I stopped my truck on the open road less than a mile from our house and had her drive home from there.
I also share tips about driving
as we book around town.
On our last trip to town, we
found ourselves at a four-way stop. “Four-way
stops can be tricky,” I told Desiree. “The
car arriving first gains the right-of-way.
If two cars arrive at the same time, the car on the right goes
first. If the cars are opposite each
other when they arrive at the same time, the car going straight through goes
first. If four cars all happen to arrive
at once, you just start swearing at each other.”
