Unfortunately, they were not accompanied by any new resolve by Virginia to get the bad drivers off of the road.

Nor are drivers required to show more than the ability to fog a mirror in order to get a driver's license, which is the real issue: drivers who do not know how to drive.

My solution: Instead of Public Service Ads to tell us to stop smoking for the millionth time, why not teach "drivers" how to drive?

After all, since it's clear that traffic laws are not going to be enforced for the most part and that the state is not going to require anything of drivers in exchange for a license besides the forking over of a fee, how about reaching the slack-jawed idiots who drive 45 mph in the left lane of the Interstate where they live -- in front of the TV.

Have a guy dressed as a clown hogging the left lane. Have the clown make left turns from the right lane. Have the clown tailgate people going the speed limit in the right lane.

Show people what idiots they are when they maneuver this way. Since pretty much everything else is off of the table, maybe public ridicule will have an impact.

What possesses someone so ignorant of the facts to waste hours and pages and produce garbage for the world to see. You should be ashamed of yourself for biased and ignorant diarrhea you spill in these pages.
