Driving Lesson
Brace yourself for lamp posts. Do not vacillate changing lanes.
That panic you feel turning corners very quickly wanes.
For each 10 miles of your speed, stay a car length back
to make it much less likely a bumper you will crack
when the car in front of you makes a sudden stop.
Anticipate fast braking, and avoid the traffic cop!
These rules aren’t too difficult, in fact they’re common sense.
When you see your instructor growing rather tense,
decrease your speed and check that you are driving center lane.
Checking your makeup in the rear vision mirror is inane!
Indicate your turning and brake for traffic lights.
Minding all the rules just makes for fewer fights.
I’m sure that if you follow them you’ll soon be driving regally.
It’s so much easier to drive when you’re driving legally!
The word prompts today are brace, lamppost, vacillate and anticipate. Here are the links:

I’m sort of grabbing at straws lately as I don’t have much time to post each day. Got up at six to do this one before an 8 o’clock appointment.

I was in a wreck a year ago. This is my car! All okay now, though. No permanent injuries.
