Tomislav, Saribro, nae: because I don't want to make a scientific poll.
Think about it: it's
impossible to make a scientific poll with voluntary answers in the "Internets".
On a side note, that's a thought that invalidates all the "polls" carried by the Formula One organization! Who, in his sane judgement, would use this forum to check driving abilities of young males inclined toward racing?
Simple: I don't want to have a "neutral poll".
With my introductory explanation, I do not want to change the way people vote,
I want to change the way people drives. Yes, that's
you I'm talking about.
The answers, up to this moment, are
small jewels in this forum that maybe can illuminate a corner of our lives, including the thoughts about "street masturbation" (yuck!
) of Belatti, Jon confession about his wife's point of view, ernos cool assesment of his qualities, alexbarwell air-horned car, xpensive experiences in frozen roads, pipex dreams, roland's full day training, dumrick reflections of manhood and driving abilities or (of course) Saribro, nae and Tomislav second guessings about my intentions (you already know me, guys!).
BTW, some of you might want to smile a little by reading Dave Barry's 2004 column about the topic of this thread, specially his idea about
sticking darts to bad drivers's cars. There you have an excerpt:
Anyway, since you and I are such superior drivers, I wanted to share with you an excellent idea that was sent in to me by Florida motorist Damara Hutchins, who is also above average...
... powerful bumper-mounted sucker-dart guns. You would shoot these at other motorists when they did something stupid. Ideally, you could fire several different colors of darts, to indicate the type of infraction. This would be a big help to the police, who could use the darts as evidence:
OFFICER: Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?
MOTORIST: No, why?
OFFICER: I count 17 red sucker darts on your rear bumper, which means you've been blocking the left lane.
MOTORIST: But I'm going the speed limit!
OFFICER (sighing): Sir, we only pretend that's the speed limit. In good weather and light traffic, the real speed limit is about 10 miles per hour faster, which is the speed 80 percent of the other drivers are going. If you don't want to go that fast, you need to get over, OK? Also, I count five yellow darts, indicating you swerved between lanes while dialing your cell phone; and one brown dart you got for driving a Pontiac Aztek, a vehicle ugly enough to cause retina damage.
That's something I would like to propose for Formula One 2010 regulations:
sucker darts that people could fire from the stands toward the car they dislike the most (specially with the wide wings we're going to see broken this year on curve number one at Albert Park).
I bet that could double the attendance at Formula One circuits... given the inclination of FIA toward "popular polls", this idea could elliminate the always unpopular stewards. The director of the race would count the number of darts per car and handle the proper penalties, without more ado.
. I got my driving license and i don't feel safe driving. I hope that when i get to own a car i'll be better. [-o<
