Atlanta Bumper Cars

I was driving home Sunday night and I saw an accident. It was completely avoidable and you know how I know this? It was like I saw the whole thing in slow motion. You know one of those times where you're looking at say a horror movie and you're saying to yourself, "He's not gonna do that....oh my god, yes he is...aww this is gonna be bad...here it comes...HA!....DUMBa$$."

Now what kills me, is this is like the fifty-leventh time I've seen an accident actually happen here in Atlanta. I've addressed this before to some Atlanta residents, and they give me the lame excuse that since so many people are from out of town, Atlanta has managed to become the trash can for every garbage driver in America. In retort, I say I have yet to see an out of state license on a car that's been in an accident.

Now I don't know how easy it is to get a Georgia license (apparently all you have to have is a WANT to drive), as I am too a transplant, but there seems to be a serious lack of a skills standard. Let's set some rules here:

1. Any old person that requires those big ol' Kool Moe Dee glasses should NOT be able to drive. (This doesn't have to be explained)

2. Any person that drives an old skool chevy with a dent in it should have their license stripped on the spot. (Sorry to 75% of Atlanta black males under the age of 24, but homie, those cars are metal, meaning you would demolish every other car made after 1975, as they are plastic, and you drive like you know that fact)

3. All women between 16-24 should have to have those driver education brake pedals installed in the passenger side of their vehicles. (The numbers don't lie. One study reported that women in this age group are twice as likely to use their cell phone while driving as men. Studies show that using your cell phone while driving significantly decreases your driving ability. One and one equals...)

As this list could become quite expansive, I will choose to end it here. But if you still don't believe me about the Atlanta traffic, google "Atlanta worst drivers" and see how many hits you get....game.set.match.
