.....And I think Arizona must have the worst drivers in the
U.S. (if not the entire world)! Judging by the number of
law firms advertising on TV that they specialize in DUI
cases, it must be the DUI capital of the world, and most
drivers seem to park their brains before setting their
vehicles in motion! (The prize-winner, so far, was the guy
in a pick-up truck with a very large dog sitting on his lap
with its head out the driver's window!) The sheer volume of
traffic in California may scare people from other parts, but
most Californians are reasonably good drivers. |
