       Boost if you don't want to die/ don't want to kill on the road. A part of my job that doesn't show: Every week I look at stats on serious injuries/fatalities and know that they're still going up. Comparing them to the previous year doesn't bring comfort even if a particular month is a little lower. Especially true in late Dec.: long dark days and New Year's Eve coming. Drive carefully, or don't drive at all. Please. #RoadSafety #VisionZero #SafetyOverSpeed #driving #DriveSafe #BikeTooter

       @BarbChamberlain Alas, my refusing to drive, or even get a license, means I'm just more dependent on my parents driving :/

       @OpenComputeDesign Do you think of them as safe drivers? You can be a great safety influence from the passenger seat.

       @BarbChamberlain My dad is a great driver with tons of experience in dangerous and challenging circumstances. Problem is he can't see very well anymore. Even with new glasses, the woman at the DMV had to help him cheat a little on the vision test last time he renewed his licenseMy mom has very little driving experience, as she married him not long out of highschool, and done most of the driving sinceSo I guess my answer would be kinda? There's not a lot I could do to advise them ore anything

       @OpenComputeDesign Oh dear oh dear, I've been there. It was hell to get my dad to stop driving when he was no longer safe. My siblings and I didn't want to stand at the graveside of somebody he killed. DMV should not be enabling, they should be upholding the actual requirements for a license! So sorry that's what you're dealing with. I have more thoughts on aging parents if you're interested.

       @BarbChamberlain Well, half blind he's still a better driver than I am. He's avoided accidents distracted I've seen people paying perfect attention fall into.Still, it would be better if he didn't have to drive, but we're 20 minutes from town by highway, with basically no other way to get there
