My aunt Wilma(name changed) has horrible driving skills...  She doesn't stay in the lane, she doesn't use her turn signals, she goes 10 miles over the speed limit... There have been many times I hoped a patrol car would pull her over so she could be reminded to drive safely. Granted, this is a forty-fifty something year old immigrant from Vietnam that barely spoke enough English to get a job at H-E-B, but that doesn't give her an excuse to drive recklessly, and even put my (and by extension, my cousins, her children's) life(lives) at risk. In contrast, my driving skills may be inexperienced, but I always try to stay under the speed limit, stay in my lane, and actually use my turn signals. Despite this huge difference in my aunt's and my driving attitudes, I didn't think too much of it until after this event happened last night.

She was driving us home when we came up on an intersection. The light was green but since we were turning left, the "yield when green" direction should've been applied. Two things were of concern here: the oncoming truck from the other side of the light (also green), and the left turn signal that my aunt didn't use. So when my aunt decides to turn left, the oncoming truck could've been hit on the side. She hit the brakes. My eyes widened. The truck swerved right and stopped. A man got out of the passenger seat of the truck all angry-like. My aunt rolls down the window to apologize but it didn't help the situation that she laughed as she did so. 

In her defense, she probably didn't mean to act like a... well, a bee with an itch. She was probably just trying to make light of the situation: an accident could've happened but it didn't (thank the Powers That Be). Regardless, the passengers in the other vehicle had a right to be furious and were completely justified, which I was okay with until the man got a look at my aunt after she spoke.
