The fender bender gene? Study says bad driving could be genetic.

Thank God for that, because it made me wonder if such a test did exist. And what if driving licenses or car insurance were to be given out to people on the basis of the results? Things could kind of get quite tricky because something tells me I probably wouldn't need the test to see if I do have the gene. My last Fender Bender would probably vouch for that. Anyways, I just thought I would link this article here for those of you who might want to check it out

Oy

So I would hate to not get a license because I have this bad gene that says you're a bad driver. I can't believe this study. So I'm wondering if there's a personal agenda here. Did you read this because you're thinking you're a bad driver or, you know, people who are and you're trying to understand why they're so bad anyway. Very interesting. I'm going to not read this article because it's too disturbing, but thanks for sharing it

Such a test would kind of reduce traffic jams globally, and I don't even want to think about what the insurance companies would be doing if they were allowed to do these tests, but they would be probably laughing their way to the banks. But yeah, it was very interesting to read that some of us are wired this way. I just thought I would share it here

Hey, Ramya, I think at some level I have always believed this and it doesn't come as a surprise to me. And you know, I also observe that I take on my dad's mannerisms when I'm at the wheel, and I also happen to repeat a couple of things that he does when he's driving, which at that point when he does it. I do remember calling it out and telling him not to do it, and I find myself subconsciously repeating the same thing

I think that the article was really interesting and so is this topic. I never actually knew that this study would say that driving bad driving could be genetic, and it really is a interesting if there was a test for that that you had to take, but yeah, thanks for sharing

Hi. So the article you posted is really interesting. And I also wondered if a test like this would exist because I don't know if I'm genetically bad at driving or if my my license or car insurance would be taken away based on this
