So when I get bored, I read the “strange news” on the comcast homepage, and I must say, this story struck me funny.
Apparently, a very skilled 12 year old took himself and his brother on a 2 hour joy ride in the family car, and even parallel parked! Know why I find this amusing? Because this 12 year old can drive better than most of the kids that were trying to get their licenses around the time I got mine.
If a 12 year old can parallel park, and a 16-17 year old can’t, then there is a serious problem, and that 16-17 year old should not be driving. And if you fail the entire driving test more than 2-3 times, you should never be allowed to drive..ever. Honestly, it’s not like it’s even that hard.
I would personally like to congratulate that 12 year old for already being more skilled than over 50% of the teenagers I grew up with.

i think driving tests should be much more rigorous than they are anyway. people view a drivers license as a right, but it isn’t. some people should just not be allowed behind the wheel. of course, this means they have to ride a bike. or take mass transit, or get a ride.
i think that last part intimidates a lot of people into not supporting the idea.
we all have those couple of dizzy friends we’d have to drive everywhere, or constantly have to go pick up.
losers
