The scene: intersection of MD-544 and MD-20.

It’s like people here are predisposed to drive like ‘tards.  Could it be genetic?

The supporting evidence that I’m not losing it:

In a new study of college undergraduates, those with a common genetic variation scored 20 percent worse in a driving simulator than their counterparts.

“The people who had this genetic variation performed more poorly from the get-go and learned more slowly as they went along,” said Steven Cramer, a University of California, Irvine neurologist, who works on helping stroke victims recover. “Then, when we brought them back four days later, they had more forgetting.”
