Drivers Beware
On April 20th, Mrs. Rooker's and Coach McCall's Driver's Education classes observed the intersection of Boone Drive, LaGrange Street, and Waterworks Road. The students were looking for such driving mistakes as cell phone usage, running the stoplight, jaywalking, stopping over the mark, not wearing a seatbelt, not using a signal, and speeding. The students observed the driving mistakes in an attempt to learn from them and apply the lessons learned.
Here are the results of the observations:
| Time | Cell Phone Usage | Ran the Stoplight | Jaywalking | Over the Mark | Not Wearing a Seatbelt | Didn't Use Signal | Speeding |
