F*cked up as it may be, this is the mentality that bothers me the most in modern society. Let the government or some large corporation do the thinking for the sheep. Take the responsibility off of the consumer, as we assume that he/she is lowest common denominator. And our academic institutions should lower their standards, and the driving test shouldn't be hard, because you know, morons need to graduate/drive, too.

If you want a real rant, I could provide one.

I know it's not PC, and it won't win me too many friends.

lol maybe another day. I'm at work.

Just wish that people were held to higher standards, instead of us instantly needing to bulk up our vehicles on superfluous driver aids. Just my opinion, but I feel that people should learn to f*cking drive their 2-ton rolling death machine before they go doing 90mph in it.

Agreed but until someone realizes that our driver training programs are bogus our driving powers alone cannot stop them.

Theres a huge disparity in insurance premiums i think. So a motorcycle, costs about 75 bucks to insure for a year. If you crash, you might die or become seriously injured, but you're probably not going to kill anyone else or total anyone elses car with your bike unless you are going REALLY fast. Then, you have a sports car, like the Z, which is somewhat light, has a powerful engine, and has really high insurance premiums. then you get 5000 lb death machine Escalade, and it has lower insurance premiums than the Z. If it the premiums were based on potential damage caused to other vehicles, the SUV should have the premiums. if it were the overall safety of the vehicle, the motorcycle would have the highest premium. if it was dictated by the replacement cost, the escalade would have the highest premium. so tell me why the hell sports cars have the highest premiums.

Insurance statistics are bunk anyway. But they have to have something to point at while they are extorting us courtesy of government requirements.
