Are Drivers Being Taught To 'DRIVE'?

I do not understand the thinking behind car manufacturers in this modern times.

On a good day the average driver is frightening. Now, we have these cars with more camera's than the royal wedding. Sensors that cause the driver to have a false sense of security. 

May be that I am just too ancient. Maybe not.

I cannot fathom the logic behind the need for a 'Blind spot sensor'. To me it will lead to lazy drivers who no longer take that millisecond to glance over their shoulder and properly check their blind spot.

What if the sensor malfunctions?

Then we have the 'parking assist' - WTF! If you cannot park you should not be in the drivers seat.
Add to this the newest doohickey - 'steering assist'. I am sure you have seen the commercial where the lady states, as she clicks yet another button, "Straight up the middle Big Guy?"

Again I say if you cannot drive in a straight line please, please take a bus!!!!

Next we have the 'back up camera's'. Personally, I have almost been run over many times in shopping mall parking lots by idiots who are glued to the seven-inch screen instead of just looking about their vehicle and backing out properly. Yes, I agree that these cameras are a useful tool. IF USED PROPERLY! But, humans are very lazy by nature. These devices give them a false sense of security. Few drivers understand that you still have to actually LOOK in conjunction with them. Even though in small print it tells you to be 'aware of your surroundings'.

Yep, I feel safe walking down my street or chancing a stroll through any parking lot.

AND DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT WHERE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS THE ASHTRAYS HAVE GONE. If I am going to be in a vehicle with a dummy driver I need to have a cigarette.

JUST SAYING ...................................

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Hey America, Sorry To Say, But …….

  I have been told that 1 percent of the American people are running the asylum formerly known as “ The United States of America “. So, what are the other 99 percent doing? A few lame protests? You all remained silent even when both Trump and Musk openly admitted to rigging the electoral computers in Pennsylvania. You all allowed the fascist rapist to STEAL the Presidency from Harris.  You have stood by and allowed your newly appointed Dictator to commit crime after crime.  I remember a time when the American people actually stood up for their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Protests accomplish nothing and only fuel the nutjob’s ego. Now look at the mess you have created!!! Every member of Trump’s administration  is corrupt and and should be arrested and JAILED! He purposely has put incompetent people in charge of key positions across all government departments and programs to create multiple chaotic disarray and confusion. No Dictator in history has ever given up their power...
