Essential Learning Points from this Episode:

• Chihuahua’s on your lap in front of an air bag can vanish in a puff of pink dust if the air bag deploys.
• Parents who can’t drive probably shouldn’t be the ones teaching their learner kids how to drive just as poorly.
• Speeding down the freeway in 2 lanes at once  while drinking latte, applying makeup, eating cereal from a bowl, checking emails on an open laptop, watching Kardashians on Foxtel Go – ALL AT THE SAME TIME is not only POSSIBLE but it’s a daily occurrence on our peak-hour roads.
