Apparently drivers in New York State are way too stupid to just drive and are easily distracted by the slightest bit of shininess.

Just as spinner wheels start to come off customized cars, the New York State Senate Transportation Committee has decided that it is time to ban them. It’s difficult to understand why the bill is gaining traction with no known associated risks to drivers. It’s not like cars are slamming into one another because awe-struck onlookers are failing to pay attention to intersections while the Escalade’s 24’s go round and round.

You have to wonder about a state government that puts ads on all four sides of buses (and charges companies for the privilege of being there), but at the same time thinks putting a certain kind of rim on your car is a distraction. Now we can’t cross the street while listening to an iPod, and we can’t drive a car with those hideous spinning rims.

Thank God we have a government that wants to keep us safe!
