Crash Course

This comes via a high school student, so, as always, your results may vary. Announcements at the high school yesterday came with a note of caution about the Barry Road Bridge detour. Apparently a student was involved in an accident in Wildwood where a vehicle was backing out of a drive. They asked students who drive in the neighborhood to use caution. Good advice.

Us adults should heed our own advice. On the way back from PHHS yesterday evening I followed a woman in a Honda minivan, in Wildwood, obviously lost. I could see her in her side mirror, talking on her cell phone, "You want me to turn right on Wayland?"...as she really wasn't watching the approaching intersection.

We have a student driver in our house and the unofficial official detour through Wildwood is proving to be a good test of skill, judgement and patience for our new driver. We'll keep our eyes on the road and brakes at the ready. We know they don't call it Wild Wood for nothing!
