Wow!
I saw the photo of the vehicles, and was impressed with the Title!

May Danyelle’s injuries heal quickly, and hopefully she wont’ be scared to get back out there, when she’s ready.
She needs to be cautious, not scared. That’s a hard way to learn defensive driving, but, you just can’t depend on others to watching out for you!

Had a semi fail to yield to BOTH his Yield signs, yesterday, while i was merging onto 30, North of Van Wert.
Life is not a guarantee, you have to work at it.
Don’t rely on people to always do the right things.
…especially if you happen to be driving a little Chevrolet Sonic!

Be careful, everyone! Wear them seatbelts, and helmets! Slow down, and be attentive to those around you!

And, maybe purchase one of these vehicles that have protected their occupants! (do we know what kinds they are? little mangled for me to tell…)
