DYK Thread for JULY
**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**
DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know
It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members
Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

not responsibility, but we carpooled a lot when I was in high school. To school mostly, but some did carpool to work.
My step-sister had asthma, and my dad would not let me ride the bus from home (I rode the bus in the afternoon to my grandma's) because we lived in a very rough area. Whenever my step-sister missed school (she missed more than she went), I had to find someone to get me to school because my step-mother wouldn't leave until it was time to bring the boys to school.
And it was very UN-COOL to ride the bus at my school.....so almost everybody had more than just themselves in their vehicles. Even though I was dependent on others until I got my license (and then I drove a few people myself at that point), I was rarely ever the only other person in the car.
I also carpooled to college with others, and I didn't turn 18 until I took finals my first semester.
I also see it from my students' cases. I work in a poverty area, and there are very few "businesses" like fast food places, grocery stores, Wal-mart...they have to DRIVE to go to work. So they carpool with each other...they get jobs where they can have the same hours.
It's good for the environment, too! ;o)
I just know statistics show that the more teenagers in a car the higher the likelihood of an accident.
I don't know if the law is actually 18 or not here I just know that for a certain time frame after getting their licence a teenager can't drive around under age non relatives.
We always lived to far out to carpool.
