16 year old girl who had her driver's license 2 weeks jumps out of the Safeway shopping center driveway on Chandler Blvd. and stops square in front of me!!! No room to make an evasive maneuver, just spike the brakes hard into ABS and hang on for the air bags to deploy. Thank God everyone is alright. My wife had some aches from the seat belt and abrasions from where her knees hit the glove box, but our safety features worked like they are supposed to. It could have been a fatal if it were an older car and we weren't wearing our seat belts.
The force of impact spun the Frontier pick-up truck around almost 180°. The girl was pretty shook up but she was OK. My new LEAF (my third one) was only 2 weeks old. I just had the glass tinted last week. Stuff happens. Thankfully everyone is OK.
