The driver who shouldn’t drive


My wife saw something yesterday that absolutely boggles my mind.  While I think there are a LOT of drivers who shouldn’t drive (uh hum – most of them); this scenario is absolutely ridiculous.

She was driving along when she saw a Geo something-or-other with a Student Transportation sign on top.  While it should be noted that a Geo by itself is probably too dangerous for the transportation of students, what comes next is far worse than the fact that the car in question is a Geo. 

The license plates on the car looked a lot like this:

For those of you who aren’t sure why that’s a big deal – let me tell you why:
THOSE PLATES ARE ONLY ISSUED TO DRIVERS WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR DUI MORE THAN ONCE!

This driver should not be driving kids to school! 

Normally I like to think MOST of my posts are funny, this is NOT.  This is more than a traffic fail, this is a society fail.  It’s bad enough that the only requirement to be a school bus driver is that you can see above the wheel; now we’re allowing people who have been arrested for driving under the influence to transport our kids to school? 

Our lawmakers and our school administrations should be ashamed.
