to be a stupid driver

I don't care what city you live in or what car you drive, being a stupid driver makes you, pause for suspense, stupid. I'm going to point out a couple of things to these people that will hopefully blow their minds and give them a glimpse of common sense and consequently, make our streets a little safer for wannabe thug white kids who can't write and think the world revolves around who they happen to have a crush on that week (this rant may continue at another time).

So first thing stupid drivers need to know: Cars are real. Seriously, they are tons of metal traveling at high speeds and only being controlled by equally stupid drivers. So just because you ignore the other cars around you that doesn't mean that they're not really there. They are. And if you collide with one you get into an accident that damages your also real car and quite possibly injures you. So if you happen to have your eyes off your cell phone long enough to see another car on the road with you, remember that it is actually there and real and should be taken into consideration.

Red means stop. Green means go. Now I know it's been a while since you've taken the driving test but believe it or not, not much has changed since then. When you see a red light you're supposed to stop. You then wait for it to turn green before starting to drive again. Why do I bring this up? Because every time I am out on the road I see someone drive out into the middle of the intersection when the light is red. Not slowly creeping forward but actually go through the intersection. Now call me crazy, but that sure seems like not stopping at a right light and waiting for the green to me. No? So let's explore why people have to stop at intersections for a second, shall we. It's so that people going in the opposite direction can go through. That means that if you drive through a red while people in the opposite direction are also driving through and if you subscribe to the theory that cars are real then you have a "real" problem.

While these two pieces of wisdom may not make you smarter, they will hopefully make you a smarter driver and that's all we can really hope for.
