70mph Car Ride

I had a dream that my grandma had a driver license which didn’t pop out as weird to me. I say that because she has bad eye sight and has alzeimers disease. But you know whatever I hop into the car wither her in the drivers seat. Initially, she is doing very well. Obeying every rule of the road except the seatbelt rule but we don’t think to much of that. Then my grandma starts to accelerate and begins to have me worry. She’s doing 50 mph in a residential/park area where kids chase loose balls and what not. Then two seconds later, I see her take her hands off the wheel and start to text! My Grandma doesn’t even have a phone in real life and you mean to tell me you wanna text now?!! I haven’t said anything to her yet I’ve just been in my head for some reason. I don’t take action until I hear this driver from a car we are passing say STOP DRIVING!! So I look ahead and I see in front of us maybe less than 30 feet away is a large moving truck and I look at our speed and our car is going 70 mph and my grandma’s foot hasn’t even let go of it. (At this point I guess time froze and I thought that was very weird but of course I didnt realize I was dreaming because I was to prideful of the fact that I said us.) I realize something in this point of freeze in time: 1. There is a brake button that I can reach from the back. So I hit the brakes and I know that since I am out of my seat and am aware that I will probably fly out the window because there is no way the car will decelerate without smashing into this giant moving truck. So, I decide I will pull my grandma’s shoulders back from my position to hopefully lessen her impact so I may take the brute force of it all. But I didn’t have to because the car came to a complete stop about two inches away from the truck like something you see in the movies. I put my head in my hands in relief (Im still in a vulnerable position because of me reaching for the brake) The car we passed earlier now passes us and I hear the guy say NO PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL! For 0.5 seconds I didn’t understand what he was talking about until I opened my eyes and saw that MY GRANDMA NEVER TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL and we were gaining speed right after I save our lives. You wanna know the worst part of it all? She speeds us up to a more than fatal speed and just PUTS HER HEAD DOWN and leaves it up to me. This time when I braked when ended up hitting the truck but not very hard just hard enough to take us off course by 20 feet and we end up in this grassy field twenty feet away from the road. So this time we stop and I’m just waiting for the police and thinking up an excuse as to why I would have my grandma with no license drive a car ( OH NOW YOU HAVE NO LICENSE! Just great) but the police never show up so I take the wheel. God, I dont know why I didn’t take it in the damn first place.
