When my daughter Abigail got her learner’s permit a few months ago, I was appreciative of those drivers who saw a nervous teenager behind the wheel and treated her with patience as we drove around our neighborhood and the country roads close by.

Her first travels around our part of the Southern End were rather slow (cars piled up behind us). So thank you, nice people.

But I want to single out other drivers for my appreciation. I will call you “friends”.

But no kidding, I sincerely want to thank you “friends”, because you have taught my daughter not to take anything for granted on the roads. You deserve the credit for making her a defensive driver.

I warned her about “friends” like you, but your actions speak much louder than my words.

She’s watched you go through red lights and stop signs, turn without signaling, fail to yield at the crossroads,

or hesitate at a stop sign and then pull out into her path at the last millisecond. I especially appreciated the “friend” who pulled up beside us the other night at a stop sign on a two-way road and took off quickly as Abigail just started to make her move.

“What was that!” Abigail shouted.

“That’s a ‘friend’!” I yelled.

And then there are those of you who find a slow-moving vehicle (farm machinery down our way) in your lane and swing out into the opposite lane to pass, oblivious of vehicles coming in the opposite direction.

My daughter has learned that a tractor coming her way means there might be an impatient “friend” hiding, ready to cross into her lane.

That’s an invaluable lesson. Thanks.

And thank you to all the walkers, adults and children, who appear from between cars. “Be ready to stop” is a lesson that you have taught my daughter well. At the same time, I have taught her the rules for yielding to walkers.

Teaching a teen to be a defensive driver isn’t easy. I want you to know that I couldn’t have done it without you, my “friends”.
