What are the dangerous of texting and driving? Are there any local laws that prohibit texting and driving where you live?
“drive someone crazy” = make someone go crazy
“My younger sister drives me crazy with her terrible jokes.”
“What are you driving at?” = What do you mean?
“So, why did you say that terrible stuff about my clothes? What are you driving at? Do you mean they are old and ugly?“
A. Listen to the recording and answer the questions.
Woman: Hey. Are you leaving now? [ Yeah. ] Could you give me a ride to the train station?
Man: No problem. Oh, I just got a text from my mom about her doctor's appointment.
Woman: No really, I'll just walk. Pull over. I can catch the next train.
Woman: Oh, no. OH NO!! Forget your car. The driver of the other car looks like a pro wrestler, and boy, does he look angry. Oh, no, oh no. He just punched that light pole and smashed his car window with his fist.
Woman: No. Forget it. I think it would be a good time for you to text or call the police. Man: Augh.
