Bad driving is genetic!

Coming soon- car insurance companies drop participants due to pre-existing genetic condition!

New drivers unable to get insurance due to their genetics!

Or jobs, especially ones that require driving on company time.

Don't laugh... especially in the days of electronic health records. You never know how your dossier will be used.
 
There was an article I saw about a year ago, I think in the Denver Post, discussing some kind of statistical correlation between the quality of driving and the number of stickers on your car. The more stickers (and we're not talking registrations or parking permits), the worse your driving would be.

It's something I had noticed before the article; it was nice to see my stereotyping wasn't wholly meritless.
 
I think it was along the lines of: more stickers = more possessive of car & space around it = more aggressive.
 
So if someone doesn't have the genetic defect and recieves the typical drivers training (none, zero, ziltch, nothing, nada and just handed keys and told to go drive) they will be excellent safe drivers?

I'm calling total hogwash on the report. It's just another excuse in a long line of excuses to not take responsibility for their own actions. They can't remember how to drive properly because they weren't trained to drive in the first place.
 
Maybe these genetic "defects" should disqualify someone from driving while
talking on a cellphone. :-/
 
considering that my sister and I have the same parents, I call BS.
 
I just used the news report in my genetics class. Fun. Figures in Southern California they would research the genetics of driving.

Oh, man... then at least 80 percent of New York City drivers have it...

Luckily for me, my family prefers applying the palm to the bicep with the elbow flexed, except for some distant relatives who apply the palm to the deltoid with the elbow extended. So I guess we're okay. :)
