Son Driving Dangerously?
My family and some other relatives and friends have a big annual family reunion that last a week every years. This year it’ll be in the summer.
Last year, my son brought his Aston Martin car, so we thought the kids would enjoy riding with him more since they’d be in a nice car. So my son and two nieces who are in teens end up riding with him. It was a great pleasure to be able to have some time away from the kids while we ride with a relative or friend we haven’t seen in a long time, this gave us a chance to talk and not having the kids around. So it works out good for everybody at first.
It took us all nearly three hours to drive 120 miles mainly because the road is so curvy and very difficult to steers on half of the way. To our shock, we learned that my son got to the site in just under two hours.
Later my younger brother who went on a ride with him told me that on open road, my son would do 140 and he rarely stop at corner or curves, he’d just skid around the corner. He also even has police radar in the car.
The ride back home wasn’t fun with kids at all. So this year we tried to ask my son if he’d drive more careful so he can make things easier for us. His says if people don’t like his driving then stay out of his car or they can ride in the trunk.
I can’t believe my son who is 32 years old and run a high profile protective service and training company would drive like this and have such attitude about letting someone else ride with him.
Any advice on persuading him to drives safer and takes the kids with him?
