Remember you are not an experienced driver and have the luxury of driving your own vehicle. Take pride in yourself and your vehicle. Keep the car clean. Follow the rules and drive always with caution. Being in a rush is never a good thing so always leave with plenty of time. There is traffic and construction in our city all the time so give yourself time. Better to be early than late. Ask yourself, “what is that car about to do?” Don’t trust any car to do the “right thing” or follow the law because they don’t . However, you must do the right thing and follow the law.
Make us PROUD!
We love you very much. It is not you that we don’t trust you it is the other drivers we don’t trust.
