L.A. Drivers
- Share via
Very often you publish letters from persons who complain about the driving habits of their fellow motorists. What very few of these people understand is that about 99% of the persons driving motor vehicles could not pass a driving test, including themselves.
Likewise, these persons are completely lacking in common courtesy, insofar as their fellow motorists are concerned. Further, about 50% of the people driving motor vehicles continually violate stop signs, run red lights, etc., ad nauseam. In addition, about 25% of all motorists are downright menaces to the life and limb of anyone in their path.
I know whereof I write, as I am the only perfect driver in the Los Angeles area.
