One of the problems today is that cars are too safe and professionalism behind the wheel is becoming rarer all the time.

When I took driver training back in 1980 or so we had a great driver training teacher who understood that most of us rural kids already knew how to drive and adjusted the training accordingly. He wouldn’t allow anyone to drive an automatic till they were capable with a manual shift transmission. We changed tires and checked air pressure. We covered all the basic maintenance.

So, what - we should now turn over our God-given right to freedom of movement to Big Brother and his automated people mover system?

No thanks. I'll take my chances that others may not be as skilled at piloting moving vehicles as I am.
