1996 The Crash of Vivian



Hopefully this'll be the last in the series. Vivian e'er I knew her, did own a Honda Civic. On a summer's morning, wearing nought but a flannel nightie, she did venture forth on a mission. Betwixt the summer cottage and the local corner store, an 85 year-old driver(male) pulled out of a side road and ran into her car and totalled it. He peered at her and son Jay (16) commented that "You two young men are too young to hold driver's licenses and are in big trouble." She couldn't get out because of her lack of clothing. Jay was dispatched to get his aunt Teresa to come to the rescue.

The apparently under-age, male Vivian was obliged to lease a new car - the white Ford 'Aspire'.

The RCMP constable assured Vivian that the elderly driver wouldn't be allowed to repeat the offense.
