Watch out Drivers!

Watch out neighbors! Wesley is now the proud owner of a drivers' permit! For the next 6 months he will have to drive with someone 21 years or older, and then drivers and pedestrians every where, BEWARE!

In all seriousness, I just can't believe my oldest child is learning to drive! Yikes! Where did the time go? He is already quite a good driver and very cautious. I am excited to have another driver in the household who can run some errands for me, but more importantly, just take himself where ever he needs or wants to go! (You can tell he is excited because he never allows me to take a picture of him, especially one that causes a scene like this one!)
CONGRATULATIONS WESLEY!

AWESOME! That's pretty exciting! Can you believe that they just let us out on the street when we truned 16 without even having that 6 months of practice? YIKES!

Wesley drove us home from the doctor on Saturday, then over to Arby's. He did a great job! Thanks Wes for your help.

Love, Grandma

Wesley. All Good Kids Like Milk

Five Seeing Habits:


Aim High In Steering: Look as far down the road as possible to uncover important traffic information to make appropriate decisions.


Get The Big Picture: Maintain the proper following distance so you can comfortably determine the true hazards around your vehicle. Don't tailgate others.


Keep Your Eyes Moving: Scan - don't stare. Constantly shift you eyes while driving. Active eyes keep up with changing traffic conditions.


Leave Yourself An Out: Be prepared. Surround your vehicle with space in front and at least on one side to escape conflict.


Make Sure They See You: Communicate in traffic with your horn, lights and signals to establish eye contact with motorists and pedestrians. Be reasonably sure of people's intentions.
