This Is The Perfect Gift For The Bad Driver From Texas In Your Family
It's no secret, especially if you live here, that drivers in Texas have a bad reputation when it comes to how they handle life behind the wheel. Whether it's merging onto the highway or forgetting that blinkers even exist, drivers in the Lone Star State are infamous for being bad. There's now a gift you can give the bad driver in your life.
Say Hello To The "B Plate"
The "B Plate" is a new sticker that drivers can use to warn other motorists just how bad they are at driving. It's a big red "B" on a white background, and it's impossible to miss. The company Scrap Car Comparison is putting out the "B Plate" just in time for the holidays.
Just today I've seen plenty of people that I think should have one of these bad boys slapped on the hood or bumper of their vehicle. I've seen drivers cross multiple lanes of traffic to make a turn at the last second. Every parking lot is full of people who don't know how to park. The "B Plate" doesn't sound like a bad idea.
The Science Behind The "B Plate"
While it may seem funny, there's actually some science behind the "B Plate". Studies done by Scrap Car Comparison have shown that not only do people hate bad drivers, but a lot of us think we're not that good at it. They found that 62% of drivers who have started driving since 2000 feel like they could be better behind the wheel. They found that 27% who started before 1970 feel like they're not up to par.
The one thing that most drivers feel like they could use some help with is parallel parking. That is the one maneuver that a majority of drivers feel the least confident trying to pull off. Driving around any part of town where people are forced to park on the road, it's easy to see why.
The idea of slapping a big red "B" on your car to signify how bad you are at driving does seem hilarious, but at the same time, I'd appreciate a horrible driver at least being honest about it. You can check out the "B Plate" by following this link and registering to get yours.
