If your thumb makes the vertical part of the letter "L" it is your left hand. If it looks more like a backwards "L" then it is your right hand. <BR/><BR/>Of course, this doesn't work too well if you are dyslexic. Also, it can be dangerous for a new driver to do while approaching a busy intersection, and you don't really know which lane you want to be in at the moment.<BR/><BR/>So, the next method is better for new drivers. Remember that your parents and the government have finally LEFT you drive. That is the side of the car you are sitting on. The parent who is nerovusly sitting in the passenger seat is always RIGHT, no matter what, so appropriately they are sitting on the right side of the car.<BR/><BR/>I hope these suggestions will be helpful for Emily.<BR/><BR/>MerleMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372728973762079943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1167946359788266442007-01-04T13:32:00.000-08:002007-01-04T13:32:00.000-08:00When I read the title of this post, I thought, "Oh...When I read the title of this post, I thought, "Oh no! Somebody has died and passed away." Then I read the post and didn't see anyone dying in it. Then the correlation between the expected content (dying) and the actual content (a new driver on the road) struck me.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you'll do great, Emily, and that no dying will be involved. One thing I tried to tell my Mom was that if anyone was going to die as a result of <I>my</I> driving, it would probably be from her nonsensically having a heart attack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1167917470771186982007-01-04T05:31:00.000-08:002007-01-04T05:31:00.000-08:00I have to say Dad is right, Mom.
