         Was that a Homer Simpson "Doh!"?  I think I've done this once or twice
...the doh! that is.

         Yea, wouldn't you just love to show that person who's giving you the t
est (and grading it, while they sit in the passenger seat) just how fast you ca
n go through those cones?  "No, actually this isn't too fast, but this is...."
Then you could show off your autocrossing skills by slaloming the cones and doi
ng a demonstration of threshold braking.  The wierd part is that after showing
that person what a competent and skilled driver you are, they'd probably give y
ou an "F".  Wierd country we live in.  In Germany the tests are very detailed a
nd they make sure you really know how to drive before they give you a license.

         A friend of mine who lived in Germany had to take a mandatory expensiv
e driving school, which was more like a performance drving school is in this co
untry.  Hey, if I were president I'd make all speed limits "speed suggestions"
and make driving tests include slaloming, lane toss, and threshold braking.  Wo
uldn't that be nice!

         And thanks for your opinions.  I was supprised at how many people agre
ed that these DRLs that automatically come on are stupid.  Thanks.
