How to fix the world wide traffic problem
tommy:
How about when we test people and they attempt to get a drivers licences we actually test them in a way that matters in to days world?
I was a at a gas station the other day and while i was filling up i watched some lady "attempt" to pull near the pump and watched her "attempt" to do this 4 or 5 times an she still never got it right but finally just got close enough to get the job done. Half of the people driving today have no clue as to what they are doing and have no business driving a bicycle let alone a machine with an engine.
People drive too damn slow and clog up the roads for people who actually have some place to go. Other people who do have some place to go and drive slow are either too busy doing other things while driving or are plain just too afraid to hit the gas. Come on America, help us all get to work and do the things we need to do and get your ass moving.
There is a difference in acting like a maniac while driving and knowing what you're doing while going at a good speed.

Too slow? Where is tommyland, anyway? People tend to average well above the speed limit in the real world. Dangerously so.

hey Tommy, how about leaving for your destination earlier. I don't see a problem with slow drivers... mines with the aggressive have to pass everyone, swerve in and out of traffic, because I'm late for work ---punks---, who if they left earlier would be there on time...

Here in Florida there are a lot of elderly and out-of-towners, mostly Canadian snowbirds who come here to avoid the harsh cold weather and clog up our roads. That's not to say that native Floridians don't drive slowly, but people really do not seem to want to get where they are going in an orderly fashion.

My office is maybe 6 miles from my house and i find myself being held up by so many people along the way. I do drive a little faster then the rest but that's not because I'm in a rush or am dangerous, but i know what I'm doing and know how to drive. I'm talking about the people who are doing everything but driving, as in on the phone, eating breakfast while driving or other things.

Ha! You should come drive in NYC/Long Island. Either people are driving like maniacs (it's fun playing "dodge the taxicabs" in Manhattan - seriously, it is fun) or they're incredibly lost and decide to drive extra slow to read the address on each and every house.
