The Mayor Has Forgotten How To Drive

Michael Nutter has been mayor for only 24 days, but he’s already missing his car. KYW 1060 caught up with him at a preview event for the Philadelphia Auto Show:

Surrounded by local mascots, Nutter drove the [hybrid] car a few yards on the bridge between the Main Hall and Grand Hall, to promote Saturday’s opening of the show.

He says that as as mayor, he doesn’t get the chance to drive himself much anymore: “What I’d really like to do is just kind of go up and back for the rest of the afternoon and really test my driving skills.”

Come on, Mike! You have many, many more years of being chauffeured around town; by the end of your term(s) you won’t even remember where the turn signals are. All that info’s going to be pushed out of your brain anyway. Driving up and back a few yards isn’t going to do much.
