if i ran for office...

if i ran for office, the first thing i would do is pass a law that every old or overly cautious driver would be required, A. to use a booster seat. and B to drive a volkeswagon bug. and heres why.

they would have to use a booster because, lets face it, you just keep getting smaller and that's not really helping anyone out there in traffic land. the most frustrating thing is to get behind an overly cautious driver who is only overly cautious because they can only see the speedometer. if that's all you see, it probably seems too fast at about 45 mph.

why is it that every single old person or overly cautious driver thinks that the bigger the car, the safer they will be. here is what i witnessed tonight i was waiting for a parking spot and this little old lady gets into the lincoln and about three minutes later, starts to pull out of the spot. this is where it became boldy obvious that we need to do something about this for the next FIVE minutes it was like a sad version of austin powers when he got stuck in the golf cart backing up and going forward trying to dislodge himself in the hallway, do you know which scene i'm talking about. hysterical! but only in the movie! the best part is that in the movie, austin only has about an inch and a half to be able to manuever through. this lady had a good eight feet in front of the car and behind it but she would still go an inch, back up an inch. and all in the mean time she's trying to pull herself up high enough to look over the dash. it was painful to watch but all the same, it was like a car accident, i couldn't help but watch. sad.

i'll post again later. when i get to it. i might go hunting...
