Honk...Brake!

The drivers of Iowa really need to check their blinker fluid.

Coming from Minneapolis, MN, I like to think that I know how to drive. I was taught to merge onto freeways without causing accidents. I was taught who goes first at a four-way intersection. I was taught how to change lanes. And I was taught how to back in, pull in, and paralell park. All of these things were mandatory in driver's ed and you had to pass each one with flying colors in order to obtain a driver's license. I am pretty sure that these key factors of driving were even mentioned on the driver's license test in Iowa.

It never fails. Everyday in Iowa, you can see a mom in a minivan cut off a school bus without using her turn signal. You can see someone stop at the end of an entrance ramp to the freeway waiting to merge. You can see a crash at a four-way intersection because the people were too stupid to know who goes first.

I have never been to another state and seen such bad driving as I have in Iowa. I am a firm believer in the fact that everyone should retake their driver's test in the state of Iowa before they can get back on the road.

So Iowa, check your blinker fluid, and learn how to drive like the rest of the United States!
