Somewhere around Cherryville, there is a stupid driver!

I would assume that any licensed driver would know, that driving with hi-beam headlights when following another vehicle at night isn’t allowed.  But last night, while driving home, a car followed me with their hi-beam headlights blaring into my rearview mirror.  At first, I chose to ignore it, as I believed they just didn’t realize what they were doing.

But, as cars passed they would dim their hi-beams, and then turn them back on high as the cars passed.  I finally figured out that this person was either stupid or arrogant.

Revenge was mine.  I zipped through a convenience store parking lot and got behind the offending driver and gave them a dose of their own medicine. 

And this morning, while talking on a cell phone, a blonde-haired bimbo decided to immediately merge onto I-85 across three lanes of traffic.  The problem, she was traveling 50-mph, and the on-coming traffic was traveling at the speed limit, or greater.  Cars from all three lanes had to slam on brakes, and I honestly believe that she never knew her rear end was about to be felt up by an 18-wheeler.

Stupid drivers are everywhere, but let’s get down to the facts.

In a 20-question test given by GMAC Insurance to 5,288 drivers across the nation, only 90% were able to answer enough questions to get a passing score.  Translated that means, 1 out of every 10 cars you pass, the driver isn’t smart enough to pass a DMV test.

The smartest drivers were in Oregon and Washington, while the less intelligent drivers were in the District of Columbia and Rhode Island.  Our neighboring states of South Carolina and Florida scored worse than North Carolina while Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia scored higher.  North Carolina drivers ranked 32 out of 50 states.  Only 18 states scored lower than North Carolina.

What is my answer to this problem?

Simple.  Every car and truck should be equipped with a two-way radio device that allows drivers to talk with each other at close range.  The device would be mounted on the steering wheel and easily activated while simultaneously blowing the horn.  Better drivers would be able to instruct other vehicles on proper driving procedures.

I think it’s the perfect answer, unless you are one of those stupid drivers!
