At last night's dinner with the Averbooks, the conversation turned to how parents worry about their children. After much discussion of Becky's China Syndrome, Debbie A. asked if children worried about their parents.
"Well, Sarah does worry about her father's driving," I said.
This led to the revelation that Jacob has been to Florida traffic school "many times," with further questioning revealing that "many" = 4. He argues that, amortized over 20-some years, this was perfectly reasonable.

very reasonable. since i have lived in florida i have owned 2 cars which achieved aggregate mileage of 520,000. i commute a lot. 4 traffic school events (each representing one single citation) amounts to a traffic event to miles driven ratio of 0.00000768, well within parameters established by the international study group on traffic events (ISGTE).
