Speeding is what we all do. I have to admit I do drive a little aggressively, but then again this video makes me take a look at myself.



Texting and driving is also a very dangerous thing you as a driver could do, or even take part in.

Just the other day I was getting a carpet cleaning machine from Home Depot, as our septic tank like blew up in our basement. 2 girls my age were on my left at a traffic light, at a major traffic congested junction (My age girls, I am 16), one decided to yell something rude and video tape me driving (Do I drive that good?). Anyway the driver was recording while driving and the passenger was yelling profanities, not the same as texting but the same principle. I quickly changed lanes, but if your caught with these kind of idiots on the road, they danger you life, as well as there own.



Please give me your reactions on these videos.

Can someone make this videos visible to the forum, my bad, I don't know how to do this .

Definitely makes you think! My daughter turns 16 and gets her license in October. These vids are going to be a must see for her.
