She’s Refusing To Drive Her Little Sister To Her Lacrosse Game, Since She Never Wears Her Seatbelt
Are you an anxious driver? A lot of people get their driver’s licenses and have to commute in their car every single day but still have anxiety on the road.
One teenager had an incident with her younger sister, who always refused to put her seatbelt on in the car. Now, she’s refusing to drive her sister anywhere, even if it’s important.
She’s 17, and her younger sister is 15-years-old. She’s a very anxious driver and doesn’t like it, but because she’s the eldest, she often gets stuck driving her sister around.
To make matters worse, her sister hates putting her seatbelt on and is often defiant whenever she asks her to.
There have been many instances where she refuses to turn on the car until her sister has her seatbelt on. Then, when her sister finally does, she takes it off once they’re on the road.
A few weeks ago, an incident in her car proved just how important seatbelts are.
“Two weeks ago, I was driving her and her friend to the movies,” she recalled.
“On the way, there was something in the road. I don’t know what it was because it all happened so fast, but it was something big, likely something that fell off of or out of a car. I hit the brakes and changed lanes. My sister went flying and slammed into the back of my seat.”
Thankfully, her sister wasn’t hurt, and everyone was safe, but she was really shaken up about the whole thing and asked her mom to pick the girls up from the movies, as she wanted to avoid getting back in the car at all costs.

Since the incident, she’s refused to drive her sister anywhere. Her parents understood, but they’ve also been really busy.
So, for the last two weeks, no one’s been able to drive her sister around, and she’s missed some opportunities to hang out with her friends.
Then, things came to a head when her sister needed a ride for an important lacrosse game she had on Friday.
Her parents cannot take her sister because they’ll be out of town, so they asked her a few days in advance to take her to the game.
She reminded them that she refused to drive her sister anywhere, so they told her sister that finding a ride would be up to her.
But the night before the game, her sister told her she had to give her a ride, and she told her there was no way she’d be doing that.
“We argued, and eventually she cried and begged, promising me she’ll wear her seatbelt,” she said.
“She can’t find a ride now, and [she] doesn’t want to let down her team. I told her if she flew through my front window in a car wreck and ended up in the hospital, she’d really let down her team, but she didn’t seem to care then.”
Her sister was devastated and kept begging for a ride. Her team also started getting upset with her, as she was running out of options.
Now, her parents are telling her she should suck it up and take her sister because her game is important, and it’ll only be a short ride.
Even if she could drive her sister, she still wants to stand her ground.
“I know she’s learned her lesson by now, and she’ll absolutely buckle, but I’m just so angry with her because the only reason she’s listening is because she has something to gain,” she added.
“I just keep saying that this is what it would be like if she had gotten seriously hurt and couldn’t play.”
Should she have agreed to drive her sister to the game or stand her ground so she would learn her lesson?
