I went to the grocery store this evening and as my wife and I were leaving we heard the familiar sound of screeching tires, crushing metal, and breaking glass.

Some young college aged frat boy made a left turn in his Ford Explorer right in front of another person in a Toyota pickup going the other direction. Fortunately the speed limit is 25MPH there. The Toyota driver only had about 30 feet to stop.

I walked over and everyone was ok. The frat boy pulled into the parking lot and parked followed by the Toyota. The front end of the Toyota is pretty much toast. When the frat boy got out of the car I yelled over to him saying "If that'd been a motorcycle you'd have killed them." and "Open your f***ing eyes!".

Man do I hate unqualified drivers. Our driving requirements really need to be increased.
