Well what do you expect when the driving "test" is a joke? You really don't have to know how to drive to get put in control of a 3,000+ pound bullet. How many people really know what to do when the backend of the vehicle tries to come around in front of them? Or realize that driving high speed through rain can bring the tires off of the surface via hydroplaning? I've seen people pass on blind curves like they didn't have a care in the world.

I've heard it suggested that all trucks and SUVs should have black boxes in them like they do in airplanes. I would bet BIG MONEY, that the most common LAST THING heard when the black box is pulled from some redneck's crumpled pickup truck and analyzed would be the driver saying "watch this!".......
