well ok technically they are not to stupid to drive but there brains dont produce some chemical that makes them worse drivers





http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/needs-image-study-30-of-you-are-genetically-predisposed-to-dr/

"Well, this explains everything. Scientists scientifically studied the brains of 29 people. Of those, 22 had normal brains while the other seven had a genetic variant that stops their brain from secreting something called a neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Without the BDNF, new memories aren't formed properly. And people with this gene variant also can't drive.

Those 29 people were placed in cars on a closed-circuit course with lots of difficult turns. Then they repeated the test four days later. Results? Not only did the gene variant-brained people do worse on the first day of testing, they did worse on the second day, too.

And now the kicker – 30% of Americans have this genetic variant. Said the scientist in charge, "I'd be curious to know the genetics of people who get into car crashes. I wonder if the accident rate is higher for drivers with the variant." As it stands now, there is no commercially available test to check for this variant. In other words, be careful out there."

LOLOL This should be televised for all the idiots and morons that THINK they can drive properly.


LOL. wonder how many of these scientists have the variant....
I would have to believe that NONE of them b/c how would they be able to do the same tests over and over again?

They need to test people for this before they can get a drivers license.

Haha, what chemical is it that doesn't let you write correct thread titles?

Just kidding. But that's interesting, I've always wondered. Some people just seem to straight suck at driving, and not in the "I don't know the rules etc" way.

Then you add texting while driving on top of it and it's downright insane to leave your house each day. I don't think that I'd pass this test, but too many of us have almost died from our crappy driving in the past.
They don't give much information at all about the other factors in this study, age/sex/ethnicity, you can't just base this on 29 people and expect any believable outcome. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned anything about a particular Asian stereotype, or old people for that matter either.

im sure there is a lot more to it then what they tell us. there has to be or else that testing wouldnt do any good.
