Driving on the Highway

I don't understand why we don't teach our children how to drive properly. It's obvious to me that we haven't been teaching people how to be good drivers all these years because of the way people drive on the highway today. You see, they used to have this class in school called Drivers Ed... you know, the one you always took naps in? Yeah, you take this class to get drive time which you need to get your license and while doing so, learn how to drive. Take a few tests, which the answers are given to you buy the instructor, then pass with flying colors having not learned a single thing from the class. This used to be the way when I was in school. The other alternative was you wait till later and you take it from another source like Sears driving school or the other hundred other driving schools out there.

With all this preparation available for these kids hitting the road, you would think they would be hitting the road with a good background of how to drive properly, safely and courteously.

For example; why would anyone drive on the left-most lane and make people pass them on the right? Did you know that you would get a ticket for doing that in Germany? See, other countries take the time & effort, and require people to learn how to drive properly, then they enforce it! It's like a FFA where I'm from.

Thats why I think we need an autobahn like Germany... When you have a Porsche going 200mph run into the back of the idiot that is going 55 in a 70 in the left hand lane on a major freeway a few times, I bet people will get the hell out of that lane when they shouldn't be in it!

My idea; install snow scoop like devices on the front of all cars so we can scoop the idiots off the road. So when other people drive by they can see this idiot in his car upside down on the side of the road. They will be thinking to themselves, "Guess that idiot was going too slow in the passing lane! I better not get in the damn way!" Think of how much nicer it would be to drive on the highways.

To the parents of up and coming kids... teach them proper driving if you know how. Otherwise, teach them how to turn their car back over when they get scooped off the road.
