Third time is not a charm.

There is a huge portion of the population who should not drive. They have gotten one too many tickets or accidents, and have proven that they are not fit to be on the road. It’s really unfortunate that most people need to drive to participate in society in 98% of the United States. If you live in NYC, you can get away with never having driven your entire life. My friend is 26-years-old and from the Upper East Side, and she just got her Driver’s Permit for the 3rd time in her life. Society would be a lot better if driving were optional in all cities, and you could choose to take public transit instead of putting other people’s lives in your hands every time you got behind the wheel of a car. 

In car dependent areas, you have to do a whole heck of a lot before you get your license suspended. Even if your license gets suspended, it’s probably not going to be a permanent thing. When a crazy driver gets back on the road, all you can do is pray that you’re not the next victim of their reign of terror. 

If a notably bad driver asks you if they can drive your car right after they got in a car accident, it is your duty to your fellow drivers to say no!!! That’s exactly what the brother in this story did.
