Since I was wearing a seatbelt, I wasn t hurt. The car wasn t so lucky. Three wheels were where they were supposed to be, but the fourth wheel was nowhere to be found. Bad brakes won t stop you. Red lights at the bottom of slippery hills are treacherous.
Seatbelts are good.
Two weeks is not a lot of experience. It was 1987. I was a junior. The two speeding tickets I had gotten a month ago had made no difference in my behavior. I was driving through the country to meet my father.
