    As you should do it in all cases hire a Mexican to enter the destination while driving.

    The barrier to receive said license here in the states is rather low. It's basically a traffic rules memorization test combined with a motor skills test. IQ does not factor into the test whatsoever, or there would be a massive outcry from the left that the poor are disproportionately affected (since the left intentionally screws the public education system to maintain a large, ignorant electorate dependent upon them for welfare). An IQ test for drivers would probably be equated to something like a poll tax or a reading test by Ted Kennedy, if his murdering ass wasn't currently rotting in hell...

    What are you, a retard?

    Pull the fuck over first. Turn off the ignition, and you can do whatever the shit you want in your car, including entering directions into your phone. Then put your phone on the hands-free kit. Then start the car and begin driving.

    Was this really a hard problem for you to solve? Please, GOD, tell me you don't have a driver's license.
