12/6 Defensive Driving Class. The course is 95 Dollars, my lawyer had told me. If it doesn’t cost 95 Dollars, it’s not the right one. In the morning our driving instructor tells us that she had learned to be a nurse initially, but took over the driving school from her father. Then we watch videos about teenagers driving (“driving ambition”). Then brief episodes about problems such as: What do I do if kidnappers lock me in the trunk of the car, what if someone rams me from behind on a lonely highway, and how do I get out of car a that is sinking into water. In the afternoon emotional testimonies of people who ruined their lives with alcohol, drugs and cars, one and a half hours. Then ten questions on an exam sheet which we answer by circling TRUE or FALSE. Thanks for spending your Saturday with us. We were twelve on the zoom, myself one of three who were on camera at least briefly.
