America Can't Drive! A Review

America can't drive. Hamtramck must be the number one ringer of this truth. But I digress. On to the review...

America Can't Drive is a website devoted to photos and stories of people's often frustrating experiences on the road. Whether it be a bad parking job or an extremely stupid person oblivious to other cars and chatting away on his cell phone, this site has it all. You can even find printable fake parking tickets to put on offender's windshields. Pure awesomeness. You can be sure that I'll be printing some out for distribution around the city.

Site founder Kevin Scott mentions that "We believe America can drive...but only if the ones who can't stay home." ACD features a bad driver hotline, a number to text photos to, and a submission email address.

Hamtramck -- Woman Struck At Belmont -Campau Intersection

Today at approximately 12:30 PM, a woman crossing at the light at the intersection of Campau and Belmont was struck while attempting to cross. We do not know the identity of the woman or the female driver at this time. It appears as though the woman was exiting from Polish Market, as grocery bags and crushed strawberries were strewn about the street. Campau was blocked off for one blow each way for about 20 minutes until the vehicle was towed.

The vehicle's windshield was cracked low and high, suggesting that the pedestrian may have rolled over the car. Again, this is only my opinion. Below is a small, somewhat blurry picture of the scene. Forgive the quality, it was taken just outside of my workplace with my phone.
