Man I have a pretty good story about teenage girl drivers. I took drivers ed. my freshman year so I could get the discount on insurance. I was in a group with 2 girls I've known since kindergarten. The first day driving, I pull out drive around a little, and pull back into the slip front first. In front of the car is a concrete stop (its probably not called a stop, but its one of the things they put in every parking space, about 5 feet long, 6 inches high or so, angled on one side-you know what i mean) Anyway, this "stop" is stitting up against the sidewalk that borders the high school, and the sidewalk is elevated about a 8 inches or so off the ground. Well one of the girls gets behind the wheel and puts the car in DRIVE. The car hits the "stop", and does not move.(it was a station wagon, old as hell) Before the instructor or any of us could say anything, she hits the gas, using the "stop" as a ramp, she jumps us on top of the sidewalk and then proceeds to slam on the breaks about as hard as she could. Talk about whiplash. The sad thing is: SHE PASSED THE CLASS WITH AN A! She's my friend and all, but I think she needs to either ride a bike or yell taxi. Just thought I'd share with yall. - John
