Was looking for information on driving lessons, and got referred to Driver education for teens in Texas. Not too bad actually - covers the generic, mundane details. But just replace Texas with any other name, and nothing much would change. Where it misses is the finer details of life in Texas. Like these basics.

  • The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
  • A seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
  • In July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
  • You can get sunburned through your car window.
  • You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
  • You notice your radiator is overheating, before you start your car.

Or these accident excuses:

  • My truck was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.
  • I hit a stationary truck that was coming from another direction.
  • The telephone pole was approaching fast. I attempted to swerve out of its path when it hit me.
  • The guy was all over
