109. Excellent choices Niagara. I started driving in PA at my HS. I was given a book about how much to keep between cars.
Mon Dec 23, 2024, 11:18 PM
Dec 2024

how much feet to given before using turn signals , difference between yield and merge. etc. PA did away with it. It also lowered the insurance rate if you took Driver's Ed. Now there is none of that. It's like everyone for themselves on the road today. It needs to be brought back to PA. I knew ASL as two of my cousins children are deaf. Great idea. The third sad to say is very needed. Findind a relationship on a website gives you very little room for really knowing the other. I might be a prude. but I do believe in knowing person first hand and even that is no guarantee that one will not be with an abusive partners. Thank you.
