Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / June 2007Stupid people with cars
I was pulling into *gasp* Wal-Mart today, and saw a late-middle-aged-to-early-sixtyish guy in the right turn only lane with his late-model Buick. He pushed more to the side of the road, but left it in the damned turn-only lane. So if you were stuck in the straight-only lane, you had to wait for them to go (with the light), before you could make the right turn you could probably have made with or without the light! He didn't put on his hazards, or raise the hood. I yelled "Go Japanese!" to him, but of course he didn't hear me... What a yutz.

[quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Natalie I used to say that would eliminate 90% of the drivers. My son started driving in October. He says 98% of drivers fit one or more categories: - Legally blind - Clinically dead (family hasn't removed corpse from car yet) - Too stupid to operate a spoon, much less a car - Shitface drunk He's probably right.

I work with immigrants and green-card aliens. I've seen them drive and they're scary. None of them has flunked their license exam. It's not that they're fundamentally incapable or shouldn't be licensed, either, but many have not operated a car - and in some cases a bicycle - until they came to the US. This puts them at a disadvantage in operation - and puts the rest of us at a disadvantage when they hit the streets. Mostly, they just need more time to learn to deal with cars. At least one of my children absolutely should have been flunked. That child was a very poor driver. I was fully expecting that child to flunk, so I agreed to let the child take the test, thinking the F would get said child to pay more attention to my instructions when driving. I was stunned to find that child did NOT flunk. Where is the nanny-state when you need it? This left me in the awkward position of saying, "No, you can't drive because you don't know how." Said child had a piece of paper, backed by the full weight of the DMV, arguing to the contrary. This led to some hard feelings. It was still a long time before we let said child "solo."

My sister did not get a driver's license until she was 26. Had no desire to have one. By then, she had to get one, there wasn't anyone that could drive her the places she needed to go anymore.

I didn't get my license till I was about 2 weeks shy of my 30th birthday, simply because public transportation was fine for me. Then I was stationed at George AFB in California (where I met my hubby :-)), and at the time they had *no* public transportation. I hear they've grown a lot since then (we left in 1990).

We all would have to take a drivers exam every time we re-new our drivers license. The exam would consist of current driving regulations and practical situations and include an oral examination by a state examiner and driving test if deemed necessary by the examiner. If you fail you have 90 days to retake and pass or bye bye license for 12 months. All exams and oral questions will be in english, no exceptions. Also a statement of physical fitness, including eyesite and mental condition would be required from your primary care doctor. The cost of the driving exam will be charged to the licensee and payable before the exam takes place. The cost of the fees will be determined by state authority. -- >> > I was pulling into *gasp* Wal-Mart today, and saw a >> > late-middle-aged-to-early-sixtyish guy in the right turn only lane [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > fail you have 90 days to retake and pass or bye bye license for 12 months. > All exams and oral questions will be in english, HAHAHAHA!

In AZ, your license is good till you're 65 - dunno what they do after that.

You have a pattern of deception jsb. deception noun 1 they obtained money by deception deceit, deceitfulness, duplicity, double-dealing, fraud, cheating, trickery, chicanery, deviousness, slyness, wiliness, guile, bluff, lying, pretense, treachery; informal crookedness, monkey business, monkeyshines.

I can't see his posts, except when someone copies them in their reply. So he's NEVER going to get an answer to his question. I can't see it, so I can't answer it. He thinks I'm a child? I haven't been a child for about 30 years. I no longer have a mother, she's not pining, she's passed on. And I don't have a wife. We have nearly two generations of unmariable women in this country thanks to Gloria Steinem and company. About the only time I hear the word mother is when there's another word following it. I'm usually trying to explain people like Joe to other people I know. At least we know the walls of Joe'sNoBedroom are white, he can't paint the ceiling that way. Yes, I'm brutal. I've grown sick and tired of the 'Vast Left Wing Conspiracy' and MoveOn.org and the George Sore-A$$ group, and The HillBeast and Political Correctness. F*ck em all. F*ck em all. The long and the short and the tall. It's ice cream and cookies for flat footed rookies. . . . Charles of Schaumburg > He thinks I'm a child? I haven't been a child for about 30 years.

How unreasonable of you to propose that fewer than 100.00000000% of the applicants receive licenses. |
