How Did We All Get Licenses?

I know that rants about Atlanta traffic are completely predictable. I don’t care. I am doing it anyway.

Why is it that all of the drivers on 75 South added 30 minutes to my already four-hour plus trip from Huntsville by slowing down to rubberneck at a wreck on 75 North (that’s the other side of the highway, folks), yet sped up to a neck-breaking 65 MPH when the torrential downpour hit us only seconds later? I had almost zero visibility going 40 MPH and you fuckwads were flying by me.

I do not understand how all of us managed to get driver’s licenses; Does the state still give a test to drivers before issuing licenses?

I feel better.

    I got my license in Albany Ga. A friend of mine told me that the test would be easier there.

    HA!!!!

    They had me drive on the Interstate, in the city, AND in a neighborhood. I didn’t see a single cone! Plus the lady was like Inspector 12 from those old Haynes commercials. It was an absolute miracle that I passed.

    Those people flying in the rain weren’t in front of me on Georgia 400. They were slamming on brakes as if they’d never seen rain drops before… I grant you it’s been awhile.

    I got my license in the other Georgia, but they failed the girl ahead of me who left crying and I can vouch for the test not being a gimmee at least once upon a time!

    Perhaps you should pose this question to the official who issued the license to the jackass who, this morning, was driving;

    a) drunk
    b) down the WRONG side of I-20
    c) while watching a movie

    And upon hitting another driver, head-on, killed the driver and sent the other 3 passengers to Grady.
