Driving in America

America is probably the only country in the world where driving is considered to be a right and not a privilege. Even an idiot can get a drivers license and a car (if their credit is good enough). Americans are some of the worst drivers in the world. They drive below the speed limit in the passing lane, eat and do their make up while driving, slow down to a crawl if it starts raining, change lanes without looking.... the list goes on and on. Now I'm not part of the anti-SUV brigade, but I really find it surprising that more often than not its people of physically small dimensions who end up driving (probably a gross generalization but I'm sticking with it). Just because you drive an SUV won't make you any safer nor will it compensate for you being short changed in the downstairs department. Here's my advice to Americans: Get a smaller car, and drive the tits off of it. Do a track day and take a driving school. It's much more fun driving a smaller car on the limit than a big SUV. And if you want to go from point A to point B, don't drive, take the bloody bus!
