Paying Attention
Posted by Prairierose on Jan 20, 2008Ethan needs to leave in a few minutes for JIMS practice. As he cruises to the church, I hope he keeps his mind on his driving, and not other things. Two of the three wrecks that he has had, has happened right after this practice he has Sunday nights. With the first one, he was distracted and just wasn’t paying attention, and backed into a van in the parking lot. The 2nd one, he turned into the sun and was blinded, and sidewiped a sign. So, he wasn’t totally at fault for that one, but, it still doesn’t stop me from telling him to be careful every time he goes to practice, and that I worry until he gets home. Hopefully, he’s more experienced now, and knows — from experience, that you have to put your full attention into driving, regardless of where you’re going, or what you have just done, or will be doing. Full. Attention.

‘full attention’ is the hardest thing about driving…people are really bad about it, too. I have a no cell phones in the car rule, because that just makes it worse! :)

I agree ‘full attention’ is required when driving. Doing this for a living I have to at all time be alert to everything around me
