One individual who can
make driving a terror for even
the most aware commuter is
the bad driver.
The bad driver has a pair of
glasses and, although he needs
them to see, they are rarely at
tached. Wearing them would
severely improve his peripheral
vision.
Instead, he tucks them in the
glove box. While the glass and
frames collect dust, he pulls out
a more effective piece of
equipment: blinders, like those
race horses wear. They keep
him in a straight line, and
enable him to avoid the incon
venience of noticing oncoming
traffic, before turning or
passing.
At one time in his life, the
bad driver had a terrible ac
cident which severed his foot. It
was replaced by a metal one,
weighing five to eight pounds.
By chance, it was his right foot,
the one that operates the ac
celerator.
The bad driver also hates
noise. Ear plugs are neatly in
serted befqre every outing.
Most bad drivers have their
cars custom made. Four-inch-
thick steel quarter panels, hood
and trunk, are almost essential.
Anything of lesser quality
would send the bad driver back
to the used car lot within a
week.
As soon as the bad driver has
found the ideal shell for his
fragile frame, he disconnects all
turn signals, brake lights, rear
view mirrors and headlights.
Ironically, seatbelts remain in
