- You should not be allowed to drive if you're over 60 and your eye glasses are thicker than your windshield.
- If you can't see over the steering wheel, then I know you can't see me in front of your vehicle. Get a telephone book or a smaller car.
- There should be a mandatory vehicle inspection on all vehicles that are registered in SC every two years (coincides with the vehicles registration dates). Stipulations would include:
- No blue smoke. If you're vehicle emits blue smoke (or any smoke, for that matter) at any time (other than a brief amount while starting), it needs to be fixed. In other words, if your car can be used to spray for bugs, then something's wrong.
- You're back window may only have stickers on the outer edging of the window. For example, if you're back window is covered by 546 "State Trooper supporter" stickers, you're going to get a ticket. Ironic, eh?
- No large items on the dashboard. Because when you get in a wreck, you don't want your Maglight as your airbag.
- You need a muffler. No, you're car is not lawn mower, nor should it sound like one under any circumstances. Your car (or truck) may be noisy, but it dosen't need any help. And straight exhaust pipes do not give you any additional thrust; use the curvy type to cut down on the noise.
- Cellphones and driving do not mix. Either hang up or pull over. Or, at least, use a hands-free set-up and put your hands where they should be--on the steering wheel!
- Books are a definite no-no!
- Why are you playing your music so loud? Turn it down. I don't need to know you're getting near me from 12 blocks away. And I know you can't hear anything else happening outside.
- Mandatory helmet wear for any motorcycle riders. And for bicyclists under 21.
- If there's a traffic accident and you want to see what unfortunate things happened to someone else, then pull over and observe to your heart's content. Just don't slam on your brakes simply to see what's happening where the flashing lights are. Chances are you're going to have your own personel front row seat in a few moments.
