Driver's Ed

Sarah is almost done with her driver's ed, she's in her final week.  I've been trying to figure out exactly what they've been learning since they don't have a text book.  At least they have been trying to teach them some things, like yielding to emergency vehicles, stopping for school buses, etc.  But one thing she said their teacher told them was not to yell at friends when you drive by them, and not to make "hand gestures", and some of the basics of road rage.  Funny, I don't ever remember being taught not to flip off idiots, or honk the horn at friends when you drove by.  I suppose lots has changed since Kris and I took driver's ed.  The worst thing we had to worry about was changing the radio station while driving.  Now they have to be taught not to text while driving, or talk on their phones in addition to the other things.  Hopefully she'll retain those things after she takes her test on Friday.
