Baptism for drivers

For most
baptism consists largely of
water
a priest
another person
a crowd(optional)
and prayers

For drivers
this consists largely of
a car
the road
a cellphone
drivers laughing at you
and swearing/crying

Baptism for drivers have two categories
broken down cars or crashing

1st Category broken down cars
no petrol
loss of gears
broken bits
flat tire
dead battery
but wait there is more

The 2nd category is crashes
sometimes it is a drunk
that one confuses red for green
and green for red
other times your car wants to be friends with a wall
pole,
curb,
tree,
another car,
truck,
bike,
and people
cars get very social

Other times
fuck it is your fault
for whatever reason
sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
forgetting medication
texting
calling
multitasking
Sometimes driving just happened to slip your mind
with or without alcohol

Moral of the story kids
do not call yourself a true driver
until you get baptised
