December 18. It's 7am and coffee is brewing. I read my last post and got a case of posters remorse. I got excited when I was writing it, ( I get worked up and excited when I write, start writing real fast), and made some grammatical, spelling, and, well, some non sensical sentence structure errors. So, to recap Driving 201, there will be no test for 201 that was the intro, we learned the term "Nas car ing", which means when a car approachs you from behind at a high rate of speed, gets inches from your bumper where all you can see in your rear view is this road ragers face looking back at you, then he starts maneuvering to get around you by turning sharply from one side to the next to see around you and get his angle of attack.
Oh wait. I see a hand up in the back of the room. "Yes. Madam. You in the red dress and black, "breakfast at Tiffany's" style hat. You have a question?"
"Yes, Jorge, oops I mean Mr. Instructor. So what qualifies you to instruct this course on driving?"
"Well, ma'am, I've been driving accident free for over 30 years and I drive 4 times as far as the average American. I spend almost 6 hours a day average on the road, ( It's really, really fun having a sporty convertible and gas friendly to boot). So that, plus the fact that Ilive in the hood and travel the burbs gives me insight into all sorts of driving techniques, from the "re-invent the wheel" driving hilarity of the ghetto crowd, to the 80 mph on a narrow country two lane mentality of the rural bunch, I've seen it all."
Well, it's 8:30 and the family is awake. We have covered my credentials today, and ranted on about nothing but hey that's OK. Next time, straight to the lesson. Have a great Saturday!
Now, back to todays lesson, New Driving Techniques direct from the Hood.
About eight years ago, I noticed some strange driving that was potentially dangerous for not only the driver but everyone around him. These are seemingly innocent "mistake" manuevers that result in the driver getting what he wants with minimal effort on is part but with disastrous consequences for everyone else. Some of these I am sure you have seen and dismissed them as "Aww they didn't know" or " OHH, he is a tourist". I assure you he is not a tourist and he is making a mockery of the whole system of driving.
A drivers license is a permission slip of sorts. It is not a Constitutional Right, nor is it mandatory by law for everyone to have one. It should be taken away if it is found that you are purposefully using it in such a way that is a danger to everyone around you. I became convinced that there was some secret society publishing an underground newsletter telling the hood crowd what the next driving abomination would be.
