Driving While Stupid By: Dave Barry

Dave is a Miamian who has seen a sure amount of stupidity behind the wheel. He has traveled in other major cities where motorist drive like there's use of signs and billboards. He believes none compare to Miami where he says the worst drivers come from. He said something so funny like if there's a dead body in your trunk then police will let you off with a warning if it's your first time. a recent report he received a man on i- 95 shaving his head while driving. He had his mirror towards his face and just enough to see the road. Folks do all kinds of things eating,drinking,texting,etc. Dave believes he is by far one of the worlds most smartest motorist.

This is nothing new. In Providence it is the same thing. People do not pay attention to the stop lights. They will run a red light and find themselves in a collision from the other four lanes of the intersection.Having surrvelliance cameras do not do any good, because people still abuse their rights of  driving on the wrong light.Most people i notice will cut on the opposite lane if they see it's clear to cut in front a slower driver. How foolish will it be to explain to the judge that you caused  a head on collision because you drove in the opposite lane to out speed the motorist in front of you? Lot's of teenagers like to drive, but are not mentally aware of whats going on around them. They just look straight ahead not paying attention when shifting lanes or turining corners. Providence has had many accidents and deaths because of the unawareness of a minor behind the wheel. Not mention we get alot of intoxicated drivers. Rhode Islanders love to drink and drive and find themselves dead on I-95 because of the alcohol interfering with their driving ability.

I've seen plenty of foolish accidents because of  foolish things people do driving. I don't plan on being another statistic of a bad stupid driving situation. I rather take public transportation than drive, it is more conveinent than driving when i'm not all there in the mind some days. Be smart about your decisions behind the wheel and no harm will be done.
