Quite frankly, I’m sick of hearing news stories about cars crashing into things because the driver of the car didn’t understand its basic mechanics. “Oh, sorry, I just forgot to put the truck in park” —  well, thankfully the person who built my house remembered to build a wall to the outside, otherwise, we’d be dead by now!

How do we solve this problem, you ask?

Well, I believe the answer is twofold. First, you make it way, way more difficult to get a driver’s license. Second, if you ever do something like this — crashing into a post office because you “mistook the gas pedal for the brake pedal” — you get your license yoinked.

Thank goodness no one was injured!
