| Cam is 15, and trying out a little bit of driving........... Can we say SCARY !?!? HAHA, just kidding......except there was this one time.......... It's a little tricky pulling out of our driveway, and checking for cars that are coming (both ways), and the angle of the road is such, that it's a little tricky. Let's just say that she got the gas and brake mixed up, and ended up out in the street (STRAIGHT) while a car was coming. I was screaming, she was scared..........then we laughed (Later). |
