I don't really think that would help us much though. Maybe even more harm. Those people that excell on IQ tests are normally the ones with no common sense. Trust me, I'm married to one (unfortunately). Extremely smart but at the same time......oh so dumb.

*Why O why* do people drive thier trucks and SUVs like maseratis? Tailgating, whipping around traffic.

dumb
dumb
dumb.

i saw a genius in a Ram p/up do a complete 390 on the dual hwy. Stopped traffic as we stared at him(probably had shat his'self). He then roared off as if nothing happened!

sigh.

Remember! God made stoopid people too!

I agree with the camapign 'nanner mentioned. May it cause SOMEONE to think about it.

I remember teaching my 16 year old son to drive the family Joe Isuzu Trooper. He came off a hwy ramp *way* too fast for comfort - i remember saying slow down, slow down, SLOW DOWN (being careful not to startle him so he didn't mash hard on the brakes and upset the precarious balance) - but impress him with the importance of compliance). Clorox didn't get THAT stain out!

When it was over he said, 'what?' That lead to a long talk on the difference between ESUVs and cars...

I then let him drive the P5 off the same ramp and he said, 'ahh, now i get it!'

That happened to me at a dual left hand turn lane...except it was a Mustang GT...guess he wanted to show up the "little foreign car"...Thank goodness there was no one else around that early in the morning...it was CLOSE...woke me up!

i recently had my first "refusal to race" a while ago...because theres a road i usually take and its just a complete strait line for about 4 miles..... but theres some parts where u can turn on and then theres a ford plant on the left and its pretty heavily populated but nice wide roads.....and the speed limit is 45 but i was cruising in about 55-60, noone around nothings really gonna happen. Suddenly this white accord pulls up next to me and slows to even my speed..you knew he/she wanted to race but the thing was i saw a school bus WAAY down the road and i just decided not to do it because i knew i would have to pass it or do something stupid and that would suck....and someone could be getting off or something....so i just let him speed off....i dont know why he floored it...loser.........but...........


i would have beat him heh heh...some people speed in the STUPIDEST places.....i agree with whoever was saying why go over 25 in a residential area......when my friend first got his car he was averaging about 40-45 in a posted 25.....i yelled at him afterwords because he was just inches from other cars going through our "down town" section. whatever though...im only speed where its safe and i can enjoy the thrill...but dodging traffic...if its not a strait line im not gonna race....
