    <description><![CDATA[Take your eyes off the road for a second, and suddenly your day is ruined, not to mention your paint job...  In today's lesson, we have front row seats to a classic rear-ending, and you're there when drivers get out and yell at each other.  Yikes,  hope they have insurance!]]></description>

<p>Tiene que ser un conductor defensivo. Aqu&iacute; muchas de nuestras carreteras tienen curvas y a menudo los conductores no se quedan en su lado de la carretera. Es especialmente peligroso ?acerca de las vacaciones?(around the holidays) cuando las personas tienen la tendencia a beber y conducir.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Anna8, Algunas correcciones:</p>
<p>&iexcl;No <strong>LO</strong> puedo creer! &iquest;C&oacute;mo <strong>TE</strong> atreviste <strong>A</strong> perseguir a un desconocido? &iexcl;A huevo, chica! &iquest;Crees que eres EL &aacute;ngel de Carlitos? jejejeje. Al final, tuviste mucha suerte. Choqu<strong>&eacute;</strong> mi carro dos veces, ninguna de ellas por mi culpa. En ambos casos, se trat&oacute; de (or <strong>fue por culpa de</strong>)conductoras lun&aacute;ticas (porque estaban en la luna), algo de molestia, pero ning&uacute;n da&ntilde;o <strong>PERSONAL</strong> (=a las personas involucradas).</p>
<p>-da&ntilde;os materiales = material damages</p>
<p>-da&ntilde;os personales = personal injury</p>]]></description>

<p>The "pero es que..." is just some verbal filler that wouldn't be translated into an equivalent situation in English.&nbsp; "<em>But is it that </em>you didn't you see that I braked?"</p>
<p>Nothing to worry about!&nbsp; :)</p>]]></description>

<p>I know what you mean about the prepositions; those just have to be memorized... or more likely, learned by years of trial and error.&nbsp; Luckily preposition mistakes rarely result in a comprehension crisis.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for the verbal flotsam, that actually something you pick up pretty qucikly through exposure.&nbsp; Esti and I, for example, have been picking up Mexicanisms since we sit across from Leo and Lili all day long.</p>]]></description>
