About four months ago, I traded my Metrocard for a City car that I use to go back and forth to work everyday. Since my first day behind the wheel instead of inside a subway car – I have enjoyed a much more relaxing trip to and from my job – but have also realized that perhaps some driver’s licenses do come out of Cracker Jack boxes.

At least once a day, I encounter a driver that should not only have their driver’s license taken away from them – but shredded. As I watch these “licensed drivers” perform the most idiotic and moronic maneuvers behind the wheel that I have ever seen – I am dumfounded that these people are actually legally allowed to drive in New York State.

From stopping at green lights, to making left turns from right lanes – to cutting me off only to double park in front of me – this type of drivers make me wish I had a vaporizing laser gun on the top of my car.

I am not saying that I am the world’s perfect driver – because I have had my share of my fellow drivers honk and swear at me – but when I am the one that is being annoyed by drivers that would put student drivers to shame – I want to scream.

I have tried everything to combat these motorists from Hell – from holding down the horn until they are out of my way, to screaming out the window – to even stooping when I get alongside them just to tell them to their face that they should really learn how to drive – but all that does is make me feel better until the next mentally deficient motorist gets in my way.

Personally, I think that all licensed drivers should be given another road test each time their license expires. Besides keeping drivers on their toes – it would ensure that the drivers on the road are able to drive – and not as inept as the ones I encounter. I would be more then willing to subject myself to a road test every time my license needed renewing if it would mean that the geniuses I encounter each and every day would have to do the same – because I know that more then half of them would not pass – which means they would be off the road and out of my way.

And just an FYI – if you are driving in New York City and you hear a motorist holding down his horn while screaming out the window to a car in front of him that is being driven by a driver who has no idea how to drive – the person honking and screaming is probably me.
