Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a mother of two and wife of 22 years. I grew up in many parts of the world and experienced more than most teenagers/young adults. I currently reside in a rural town in NKY and work in Cincinnati, OH. Commuting is a large part of my life as I travel 90 miles (round trip) a day to go to work. The problems I see along that drive on a daily basis are unbelievable. I feel that our children are not being given the advantages that we had. In my youth, I attended several defensive driving courses that I know made me a better driver. I believe there needs to a push to put defensive driving courses into high school education curriculum. When I attended high school passing a driver’s education course in high school was required. You did not obtain your license if you did not pass that course and a required number of behind the wheel trainings. The school had a vehicle and a trained instructor. While I may not be a perfect driver and I make mistakes just like the next guy, those courses stand out in my mind as not only informative but crucial to my success as a young driver. I have taken those skills that I learned and taught one of my sons to drive. My youngest will soon begin his path down the long road to learning how to drive. I only hope my experiences and lessons learned can be a benefit to them. View more posts
