So last July, my BIL and sister were in an accident becaues he decided that he wanted to pass a semi while entering the turnpike from a toll booth. Instead he ran his truck into the wall, overcorrected, and rolled it, resulting in this:
Now, sis and BIL were (thankfully) ok. They were both wearing their seatbelts. My sister had a cut on her forehead, so she had to go to the hospital, but that was the only injury. Do you think he learned his lesson?
Fast forward to yesterday. They're driving to MD to visit my dad and go to the race in Dover on Sunday. He does the SAME EXACT THING is his car. He tries to pass a semi while entering the turnpike after a toll booth. He ends up on the shoulder this time, hits a rock, which tears a hole in his muffler, and somehow damages the starter. Again, everyone was ok, but why why why does he continue to do this?
My dad told me about it this morning and already plans to have the "I don't care how you drive when it's just you in the car, but when you have MY daughter in there, you will be more careful." This would be the second one of these conversations. If dad has to have a third one of these conversations he's already told me he's going to make BILs life hell (not sure how, but if my sister is injured, or even worse, killed because of his stupidty, I'm sure my dad would figure it out).
