I've been trying to think up a framework for standard driver training (not high performance). I was think that the first clinics should focus only on throttle and steering then have braking as a whole separate clinic in itself. It half hatched and sort of pointless to think about. I usually spend time in the car driving tracks in my head or thinking of how driver education could be improved for the general public.

What chu talkin' about, the best stuff for Tacos is home made salsa from Moma and Not Azn hot sauces. Please stop trying to be a Taco hot sauce Pro like me. Do you see me putting Spicy Hot Salsa sauce on Pho? Hell no. Get serious and start thinking round-eye.

That's one reason I avoided TP today, other reason is forgot EZPASS in other car driven to CT.

There are driver's schools out there but the focus on remedial driver skills enough to pass a laughable official test of our ability to drive on public roads.

This would require a huge effort, most people would fail. But imagine the results.

Pretty much what Europe has in place. It'll never happen though because people see no worth in being better drivers when they already believe they are the best. Plus we live in a culture of no accountability. You get in a car accident, then it mist he the car's fault or the other driver. You get hurt in an accident, its because Honda/ford/Toyota/etc need to put more money into research and add a few more hundred pounds of safety equipment to our already overly equiped cars. It's a f^vming shame people are like this.

Also, I don't see any part of our government putting money into programs to improve public safety or improve just the overall "stupid" of our society. The government is t so bright as it is. Lets look at spending. Healthcare spending accounts for like 18% of the overall spending of our government but let's make it top priority to cut back spending by giving less money to insurance companies who will, in effect, pay less money to care providers to actually do their jobs. As of 1/1/2013 there is a projected job loss of 137,000 healthcare jobs in our state through 2013. There needs to be a better system for healthcare and I don't believe the plan is place is the right path.

So in conclusion, you can't fix stupid.

Keep poking the bear and J Foren will drive the Evo while M Foren drifts the Dodge around Thunderbolt. Have you ever seen a Cummins tank slapper around the Octopus?

Hmmm, that looks a bit dirtier on my screen than intended...

You're pretty American yourself.

I'm criticizing, not complaining. We live in a world where no one is accountable for anything. It's like being ****ty at hpde and throwing more parts at the car and still sucking.

I said AMERICANS didn't I?

Americans are also not motivated. You don't work, welfare saves. You follow people too closely, ABS saves! Makes sense?
