The problem is the less fit can accidentally take out the fittest.

True, but in this case it sounds like the car drivers are the less fit. I think a person has to "graduate" to a motorcycle, after possessing a better than average grasp of automotive physics and driving skills.

I apologize for confusing the issue. My survival of the fittest comment was a response only to the post before it.

I think people shouldn't be allowed to drive until they've actually proven they're capable of doing so.

The law was recently changed here in Ohio. Used to be you had to wait until you were 16 to get a learner's permit, then you could take the test whenever. Now you can get your permit at 15-1/2 but you have to wait six months and log so many miles (can't remember how many) with a trainer before taking the test and obtaining your license.

Outlawing cars?

I'll admit I laughed way too long at this.

So, I read gas is heading over $3 per gallon this summer. Maybe we won't have to outlaw 'em. Maybe 'natural selection' will make 'em obsolete

I say we go after him like we did the last. I hate Safety Nazis (and Illinois Nazis too).

Funny I was about to point out the same thing. I lived in Biloxi Mississippi four years while I was in the military. While they aint the smartest bunch, normally they make up for smarts with hopsitality....
