And then people call me crazy for having the camera...
Our towns motto is "Everybody is Sombody in Snellville"
But at the police station we have changed it to... "Everybody Hits Somebody in Snellville"

I would have done the same, clearly the moron at the front wasn't paying attention or was stalled. However, I would have been VERY attentive to the possibility that the second person in line, or even the one in front, could have started to make the turn in front of me as well. Brent

Just do what they do in europe. To get a license in Germany, you gotta take an advanced driving class that costs some absurd amount (few thousand $$$????). The class is very long, a few days or even weeks. (I don't remember exactly)
Then comes the exam. Their exam is much more difficult than ours - so that weeds out some more bad drivers too.
The result: better drivers and less drivers. Not to mention more people on public transit.
Those who cannot pass the exam or pay for taking the class are stuck using public transit. Driving becomes a priviledge that is earned, not just something handed out to the entire population. More people in public transit means less traffic congestion and less environmental pollution.

Actually the entire process takes almost a year and roughly $3000 in Germany.

Just like everything else, American is many years behind other countries (technology, education, public transportation, etc)
If somehow we were able to invest some resources into our public transit system that could potentially solve many of our problems. Now the Billion dollar question is........."how do we find the resources?" sell a few missles and jets perhaps?
