Free Range by Bill Whitehead for June 25, 2020

I didn’t receive this training.

When teaching my kids to drive I told them, “Anyone can make a mistake while driving. Remember, you’re not the only idiot on the road.” They knew I wasn’t exactly calling them an idiot, just that they had to be careful and alert while driving.

Now that I think about it, ’You’re not the only idiot on the road" would make a great bumper sticker.

Another bumper sticker I was thinking of…“Oh, like it’s my fault you’re stupid.” But that one sounds kind of mean.

Drivers Ed in Quebec. Another important lesson they taught you was that pedestrians are only speed bumps!

The instructor is a convicted felon used to evading the police.

And here it is in “reel” life:

And……if you really need a good laugh to get you going today:

Roll down the window and ask if they have a drivers license.

Now that’s more like it.

Mafia students..

I’ve seen similar scenarios on the live police shows (the “Student Driver” sign is a nice touch, though). It is never a good idea to run from the police; all you’re doing is making whatever you got pulled over for in the first place a whole lot worse. I have more than once seen a misdemeanor citation turned into a felony (and sometimes more than one) because they ran from the cops.

Good grief!!! LOLOL

Works the same way in Seattle, too
