New Drivers and Homeless People

So... imagine you are on the freeway... travelling about 100-120 km/hr  and up ahead you see a car pulled off to the shoulder... You are in the right hand lane, mind you, but this car has its hazards on, so you assume he is in some kind of trouble with his vehicular transportation device. As you begin to close on this vehicle, through the rear windshield, you notice that the car (or "deathtrap on wheels in the hands of a fucking lunatic" as we will later refer to it) is packed with 4 or 5 kids. I say "kids" because I'm an old, grumpy man, and also because they were punk fucking kids. I would assume the driver is about 16 and his passengers range from 14-16.

Anyways...  as you close on this deathtrap on wheels in the hands of a fucking lunatic, and are about to pass it, it suddenly darts out from the shoulder into your lane. Now remember... you are not far from this car at all, so you SLAM on the brakes, and instead of the lunatic in fron of you continuing to accellerate, to move his car away from you... he hears the brakes of your car squeal, SO HE HITS HIS TOO IN PANIC.

So... to bring you up to speed (no pun intended), you are now stopped behind a car full of kids that have now shit themselves, gripping your steering wheel in shock and rage, and there are cars whizzing past you at the speed of light.

What does the fucking asshole, prick, fuckhead, imbecile do? HE GETS OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE IF EVERYTHING IS OK!  

Now I'm no rocket scientist, but I'm pretty sure that if i even have the slightest common sense and driving skill, I would know not to get out of my car, while stopped in a lane on the FREEWAY. There are about 75.8 Billion things I would do before I did that. 

So this is when I turn into "Mr. Awesome Fun-to-Deal-With Guy".  I roll down my window.. poke my head out a bit and ask.. "So how is the suicide mission going today? Looks like you might succeed this time!"  *blank stare from kid*   "I suggest you get back in your car and get your friends to safety before you and your car are turned to dust by someone that doesnt have brakes as good as mine are."

So he scurries back to his drivers seat.. starts the car.. and books it.   

In conclusion... I feel that new drivers should be tested a little more rigorously. Like.. there should be a pack of bikers that follow them on their road test with chains and crowbars,  slamming on the hood and trunk while they drive.  I think after that, they would be a little more sound of mind driving in NORMAL conditions.  

Please... parents... if your kid has JUST got their license.. make sure that their IQ is higher than their shoe size before you let them use your $65,000.00 car.
