I live on a little country two-lane street. Sometimes there are people on horses going by so when I pulled out of my driveway on my way to work I didn’t expect the Mercedes SUV to come flying up on my tail. This person, I don’t know if it was a man or a woman due to the extra dark tinted window, stayed right on my tail to the corner were I turn to head down the hill. This is when the person passed me on the little country road so they could go 25 miles an hour over the speed limit instead of the 15 over I was going. This proved to be a total waste of effort because the only traffic light you have to stop at five miles later this car was still only right in front of me.
I have thought lately about the efforts Google and others have put into driver-less cars. While helping those who possibly need help driving it could also be used by the courts as punishment for stupid drivers as well. I think they should make them some obnoxious bright color with the words “court ordered” on the side so they can be publicly shamed into being a better driver. It would work kind of like the guys on the side of the road picking up trash. We could all point and laugh at them as they go by and hopefully it would make them think before they drive like a nut again.
