Deer In The Road

Tweet

Last night, my grandson, who is 15 years old, was driving home from his karate class. He just got his learner’s permit, so my son was in the car with him, of course. There was a car coming toward them when they spotted a dead deer in the road on their side. My grandson has very little experience driving so my son had to grab the wheel and try to avoid both the oncoming car and the dead deer. He managed to miss the oncoming car, but ran over the deer with one tire. He said he doesn’t know what damage was done to the undercarriage of the car, but one of the running lights was damaged. He had to wait until this morning to check the car. I wasn't up when he left for work, so not sure what he found. It could have been much worse. It was my grandson’s car, so I hope that it is not too badly damaged. My anxiety about him driving just went up a few more notches. I know he needs to learn to drive but I don’t know if my nerves can stand it.
