I wonder if this ethnically or sexually linked? Just asking...

Well, this certainly explains my daughter’s ability.
My husband’s side of the family are notorious bad drivers!

(Cue the Rainman quote! “I’m an excellent driver!”)

Read “The Bell Curve” and you have the answer. But I’m sure you know anyway.

I wonder if the same genes influence people’s career selections.

I say that because on “bank holidays”, which I like to call “bureaucrat holidays” those of us who are left on the roads at rush hour seem to be a lot more competent than those who have the day off.

I thought it was just impatience and self-centeredness.

No, it’s a memory thing; they keep forgetting to hang up and DRIVE!

So does this mean that soon the state will test for this gene and withhold licensing from those who possess said gene?

People with a particular gene variant performed more than 20 percent worse on a driving test than people without it - and a follow-up test a few days later yielded similar results. About 30 percent of Americans have the variant.

But more than 30% of the people on the road are bad drivers?
