Woman Passes Driver's Test On 950th Try

Hey! I remember that story back when it was her 900th try! Daaang! Kinda makes me curious how her actual behind the wheel skills are. Paper and asphalt are two totally different things.

I recently saw a story on the news that said scientist think that poor driving is genetic.

Doesn't say anything about sex though.

Bad sex might be genetic too...

That could explain why traffic moves so slow.

I gotta good one
My wife, bless her the beautiful thing she is decided a number of years ago to clean out the
Explorer. She vacuumed it out and cleaned it all out etc. Well she decided she would pull the
car forward a little so she could reach the back of the car with the vacuum.
Instead of getting in, she thought she would just start it up and put it in gear and roll it forward.
So she does this. She goes to press the brake pedel and realizes that at 9 months PREGNANT
her belly is in the way and can't press the brake pedel. So the car rolls forward another 10 feet
into the stairs and railing of the deck. Crunch. No one got hurt except for the deck. 
I still tease her about that. To be honest she's had one speeding ticket and never wrecked anything.
I one the other hand, well we just won't go there.

so as i came out for my lunch break, and start walking towards my bike this is what i see...




apparently someone backed into my bike in a bad attempt to parrallel park.
i pray that the forks and frame are still straight and not bent in anyway



notice how far they pushed the bike backwards before they stopped and of corse the kickstand bent and cracked the oilpan.



well i guess i should be thankfull that the bike didnt fall completly over. but the worst part is that whoever did hit me just fricken left with out saying anything so i am stuck paying the deductable... bastards !!!


well at least the towtruck driver was nice and new what he was doing.

Oh, dude, that's just not right. 

Dude, cracked engine case is big time work, that sucks.  It will be a big bill to fix right.

mitt

i swear to god, seeing shit like that pisses me off so much. ive been a victim of bump and run over 4 times in the past year alone.

the last guy someone got the plate number and i made out with a few grand.

If i installed a camera on my bike that took videos of it parked in low quality to my left and right. id be rich right now sueing them in court.

FIFY

wheres the angry face smiley oh wait htere it is 

no like you!!!!

my wife is such a bad driver I've been considering sending her to a  $1,000 driving school.

If we're anywhere she's never been, she drives dangerously slow.  Highway interchanges, she's afraid she's going to fly off at 15mph.  White knuckles the steering wheel most of the time, oblivious to pretty much everything.  

It's weird she was fine when we started dating and then all of a sudden one day something snapped and now she drives like a grandmother.

mine is just the opposite.  when we met, she drove carefully and deliberately -- not slow, but always the speed limit.  now she drives like a 16 yo boy with a shitty attitude.  speeds all the time, cuts people off, refuses to let mergers into traffic (speeds up), the whole 9 yards.

Wow, NEVER park your bike on the street.  Buy an alarm and find a better place to park.  I like to ride everywhere I go, and I plan for extra time to hunt down a place to park that is NEVER on the street.   Your story is unfortunately all to common.

if your going to commute daily, dont bother owning a nice bike. Save the poor 848 and get a beater bike. Sv650, Older monster is quite nice. Thats what my Monster is to me now. S2R1k beater bike.

the worse part is that it was a closed street and only the sub contractors that i was working with are allowed to park anywhere near the vicinity.  for the first 3 days i was parking on the side walk right next to where i was working, but in that day they where painting all the parking lines with a spray gun and the operator told me that unless i wanted school bus yellow overspray all over my bike i really should move it up wind from where they would be working... i should have went with the school bus yellow.
