Safe driving comes first
Q: I have a best friend who is allowed to drive her parents’ car to school every day. She is allowed to pick up one friend and drive them to school, too. She picks me up nearly every day, which I don’t mind because I can sleep in a little bit longer and don’t have to ride the school bus. The problem is that she often picks up two or three kids, plus she is always text-messaging or talking on the phone while she is driving. I know this is not safe, and I know her parents would take the car away from her if they found out she was doing these things. How should I handle this? Should I just tell her to stop, or should I tell her parents?Our other friends (that she picks up) don’t seem to mind, and told me if I say anything that we’ll all just get stuck riding the bus again. What do you think I should do? (Updated: 11/19/09 7:08 AM )
