Kansas Drivers

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

I recently rejoined the illustrious mass that is Kansas drivers when I purchased a car. In my hiatus, I had forgotten that the bulk of them are crazy. It's almost enough to necessitate an armor-plated vehicle just to ensure my safety. I actually saw somebody eating and talking on their cell phone at the same time whilst driving. When I say I saw them, I mean I got a very up close view when they swerved, erratically, into my lane without looking. Luckily, Mario Andretti has nothing on me. I deftly avoided an accident in that instance. People like this are prime candidates for license suspension.

The problem is that these people somehow manage to maintain their Kansas drivers license, despite their indifference toward common sense and the safety of others.

Here's another example: Have you ever seen somebody driving with their left foot hanging out the window? What could possibly put the idea in somebody's head that it's a good idea to have a critical appendage like a foot jutting from the window for all to see? Maybe he had to air it out. I don't know. I couldn't possibly begin to pretend to know what would possess someone to do that. The point is it's dangerous. Such behavior is grounds for immediate drivers license revocation in my book. And potentially chemical castration.

That's the end of my rant, ladies and gentlemen.
