Ok... most of you know, since I am 14 I can start taking drivers ed in 2 year, or 1 year, if I take it over the summer, in Richmond, Virginia. Well what I hate is my neighbor at the end of the street, is preppy'ier than me, and she has some 2 year old BMW, her 2nd car and stuff.
I was walking home from school today, and her younger brother was 20 feet behind me, and she pull out of her driveway, with a friend, and goes out of her way to "try" to hit us, you can hear car go rrrrrrrmmmmm, and stuff, and she goes by me and smilies and waves, since we both go to the same school. I'm like WTF??? And I was talking with a friend, and I was dazed... I have seen her do it before, for fun, but I mean come on... Clue into what your doing, and I personally don't think letting 16 year olds drive is so smart! Next time, I'm thinking of getting a video clip, and posting it here, so you can see how stupid, this was. And I mean it was really dumb move, b/c I'm going to call the cops, next time! heh. ---------- EDIT ---------- I corrected the topic title, to a more fitting description, to explain the post a little better.

Her fun can be dangerous. These teens don't know what they're doing. They think its all fun and games until someone gets hurt or dies from their actions. I just get annoyed at things like that. just stupid unecessary things.

You really can't generalize the statement like that. Not all "teens" are bad drivers. I've been driving since I was 10 and at 10 I was better than many adults I see on the road. If anyone shouldn't be allowed to drive it should be some elderly.. but not just based on age.. based on eye exams, awareness tests, etc. Just because someone happens to be a teenager, that isn't necessarily going to cause them to be irresponsible =)

What does preppier mean? In the UK, "prep" would be asscociated with a prepatory or private school.

Basically the same thing here. The word 'prep' or 'preppy' has been pretty much generalized into association with younger people (teens, etc) who usually live in a mid-upper class area and wear particular brands or styles of clothing. For example, people who wear brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Old Navy or Gap are normally thought of as preppy.

If I were you, I would have instantly reported her to the police. If they didn't believe me, I'd wait and somehow get evidence of what she did.
One day she might try to "hit" someone, lose control, and then have an accident. Then maybe she'll learn her lesson. I'm not saying she should get into an accident but maybe a minor one where only the car gets damaged would teach her a lesson. |

Yes, but you should be more aware of what your doing... I mean she almost went off the road, and killed the kid... but I have my camera with me next time, and I will take a video of the car and what she is doing, then call the cops, and then post here with the results.
Keep the roads clear.... |

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. ![]() Group: [MODERATOR] Posts: 4,327 Joined: 24-July 05 From: Linix, DOS and Windows…the good, the bad and the ugly Member No.: 9,787 ![]() myCENT:12.10 |
Where I live, Drivers Licences are "progressive". The "Learners" is the same, but once you pass the driver's test, it takes two years to receive a Permanent driver's licence. There are some restrictions like, no passeners for 6 months, no night driving, no tickets allowed or they pull your permit to drive. It seems to help. Doesn't matter what age yu are, either. Glad I got mine before this program was in place.

Well, most of the people that I know are not bad driver. I've never seen any bad teenage driver in my school. Sure they might rev their engine once in a while, but most of the time, they don't try to do anything. But there are always expection to the rule even adults. Some are just idiots thinking that they are better than us..
