    I think her whole freaking family drives in Farmington Hills, MI on a daily basis! Why the heck would you still allow her to get a license?

    Absolutely! Has anyone here studied the rules of the road harder than her?

    She has a comprehension problem. Do you want her anywhere near you when there's a decision to be made?

    I don't want her to have to THINK should she brake before she hits me or to have to THINK about how to make a left turn across opposing traffic.

    I was riding shotgun in my Dad's truck as we cut thru downtown on our way home one day and I watched 2 older ladies who had just gotten their license turn on their left blinker and then proceed to ram us on my side of the car. When the police got there they were very mad at us because the manual told them that to make a left turn they turned the blinkers on and then turned. They couldn't understand why we didn't get out of their way. The policeman never could make them understand what they'd done wrong.

    Sure, she can't be any worse than some of the people around here.

    What would scare me would be the 60% to pass...

    It took 950 attempts and she still doesn't know 40% of the answers.

    I've heard it called DWA in San Fran.

    In Texas we call it driving by braille.

    It seems people of the A persuasion don't think they've backed far enough until they "touch" something. I've had several work for me and they really and truly believe that's how you know you've backed as far as you can go. They were taught that by their bretheren so I guess that makes it a cultural thing and we shouldn't make fun of them.

    I am not surprised. Friend of mine is half black half japanese. His mother is from Japan. He would rather spend his days off driving her around than let her get behind the wheel again

    Honestly with 950 attempts I don't think she ever even read the test... Just showed up, whipped out a pencil and scribbled on the page behind the back style knowing something had to be right eventually.

    All I learned from that piece of news is that Obama is asking HOT moms back to school..

    Seriously though she obviously is an idiot and I'm confident that even if I don't ride with her she would rear end me/t-bone me or otherwise slam into my car unexpectedly.

    Not being prejudiced or anything, but I'd still be driving my Subaru if it weren't for people like her.
