I used to think it was just a MASS-hole thing... but I've come to the conclusion that driving ALL OVER has degraded to the point of being dangerous!
I have a theory - and this doesn't apply EVERYWHERE, but we had Drivers Ed classes in high school. No one has that anymore.
My HS did not have Driver's Ed.
I took it during the summer after my senior year at the local Public School, but only so I could qualify for lower insurance rates...
But it is required here... just not part of HS curriculum but through a private driving academy. There is a written test to get a permit, and once that is obtained, then there are classroom and driving hours
at a certified driving school PLUS a ton of parent-accompanied hours (
and from what I understand, parents now need to take a class also; I did not when my kids learned) required to be completed before they can even schedule their road test!
And yet... the MASS-holes abound!
