SACRAMENTO, CA — Gavin Newsom has doubled down on California's commitment to endangering public safety by issuing driver's licenses to women.
No longer content with issuing commercial licenses to unqualified illegal immigrants who don't speak English, Newsom reportedly decided to escalate matters by issuing licenses to the female population as well.
"What do you want to do, gatekeep driving?" Newsom asked during a press conference. "I promise that, as long as I'm governor, California will always uphold a woman's right to bend as many fenders, curb as many tires, and smash as many side-view mirrors as she darn well wants. Everyone — and I mean literally everyone, even women — has a right to be handed a license and endanger the lives of pedestrians, bikers, and other drivers on California's roads."
Newsom's decision to continue offering licenses to women has been hailed as a step towards equality by feminists across the country.
"That's one small step for California, one giant leap for womankind," said Gabby-Jean Louise, desperately trying to smooth out a bump in her fender before she had to leave for home. "It may cost a few innocent tires here and there, but keeping women on the roads is well worth it."
Louise excused herself and reversed into a passing cyclist.
At publishing time, Newsom had finally crossed the line in endangering public safety after renewing his commitment to letting men wear long white socks with Birkenstocks.

Good one lol
90% of car regulations could be dropped.
But we should make them all have manual transmissions.
I know its parody but he ain’t wrong.
Wait until he finds out I’m a licensed pilot and fly in to LAX and SF and other CA airports.
“But we should make them all have manual transmissions.”
I’m only 5’ 1”, but if I can reach the pedals, I can drive it! ;)
Women pay less than men in many states; in mine, it’s been true a long time. We’re statistically less likely to be involved in accidents.
(I’d fly with you with no worries - and I’m generally afraid of flying itself. I also notice that the women who deliver my groceries and fast food are far more likely to follow directions and provide an efficient service than the men are.)
LOL. Gavin Nuisance
Thanks for that! :D
“Newsom Continues To Endanger Public By Issuing Driver’s Licenses To Women” ... A sexist would say ...
satire is satire but i disagree with this one.
except for one specific nationality of drivers who, it must be said, are (in-)famous for driving 10 mph backing up traffic all along the major arterial highway......and then speeding up to at least 95mph to get that last parking space in the Costco parking lot.
as soon as they leave Costco, they drop back to their usual 10mph.
it is well known since it is observed so very often. I will refrain from mentioning the specific ethnic group because it is still a generalization and can’t apply to ALL members of that group, just to be fair about it.
One of my co-workers from Alabama complained about the nearby Korean Church. He told me that the female Korean drivers were horrible, and that one of them backed up 30 feet on his driveway to change directions and hit his wife’s car parked in the driveway.
Oh why not?
Woman driver figuring out what the rear view mirror is for.
Mom would pull out the choke on a 41 Chrysler and hang her purse on it. Told dad that what it was made for.
I only have a couple inches on you, but I'm the same. Nor am I intimidated by any weather conditions, particularly snow.
