>>My daughter has been driving for a year now. As you know, that amount of experience is not sufficient to handle emergencies unless they've had to deal with them on numerous occasions. She's had to employ defensive driving on many occasions because we have a military base here and many soldiers don't even get their license until they are assigned to their first unit. Plus, we have drivers from all over the U.S. and the world in one location (we actually get Brit soldiers driving on the wrong side of the road on occasion). The central and south american soldiers are the most interesting though - they tend to disregard all traffic signals (as I experienced when I was in their neck of the woods).

>To whom it may concern: I have watched five seconds of advertising today. That's how long it took to decide it was an ad and to find the red button again.
