I am so sick of the F1 drivers bitching about their superlicense fees! I am a very fucking good driver, taught by a former 3 time consecutive auto cross champion who was a SCCA nationally licenced driver who also professionally drove in Formula Vee and am myself professionally licensed to teach in most of the states in The United States of America the art and science of driving to people of any age, sex, creed, etc... and I'm pretty sure I could artfully scare (in a good way) many of the people reading this blog with my mastery of driving were I driving a 1996 Ford, a 2005 GM, a Lotus, or a Ferrari... My goal in life is to test drive cars and write articles about said cars and test drive Bridgestone tires. I will probably never be paid a small fee to do either and I'm a fucking good driver and would be happy to make my living driving competitively. Sure, I'd be unhappy about the man taking some, be it in license fees and/or taxes due to the absorbent amount of money I made driving in circles for a shitload of money with other professionally licensed drivers... but ya know what? I'd live with it.
I professionally teach people how to drive. People who don't know how to drive well, on roads full of licensed drivers who also don't know how to drive well either and that's a lot more fucking dangerous than me and a bunch of other professionally licensed drivers making a shitload of money to compete for a dickload of cash driving in circles in cars built to sustain life after heavy crashes. I have a better chance of dying in my profession than Fernando Alonso does. I can statistically prove it right now: Senna died in 1994 driving an F1 car. It is 2009 now. Nobody has died driving an F1 car since 1994. In 2007 41,000 people died driving just on United States highways alone. So eat a dick. I made $27,000 last year.
Fuck you.
I've spent 75,000 miles on US roads teaching people to drive in the last 2 years alone. I've made roughly $50,000. Somehow I'm not dead. F1 drivers competitively drive about 5000 miles a year tops and make much more than $25K a year on average.
Go to hell!
I think the FIA should give me some of that money that is supposed to go to their "Safe Driving" program to help me keep my car going that I owe $13,000 on and my mouth fed. I teach safe driving. F1 drivers artfully drive in a beautiful way to entertain themselves and millions of other folks around the world. I enjoy it, but you know what, my driving job isn't for personal or others enjoyment. I teach safe, sound, and smart driving technique and as much as I'd like to be able to take all my students around a track to show them how to attack a 3-point corner, I'm just happy if they properly navigate a left turn whilst utilizing their turn signal!
