(Newser) – The US Postal Service has asked the people of Florida to please stop crashing their cars into its post offices. There have been eight such incidents so far this year in central Florida alone, and the USPS has released some tips to help drivers avoid crashing into postal facilities, reports ABC 7. They include avoiding distracted driving, checking to see whether your foot is on the gas pedal or the brake pedal, and checking to see if the vehicle is in park, reverse, or drive.

Maybe Florida should start testing 90 yo with glaucoma and iphones for real driving skills instead of writing requests to people who can't read even if they could see.

It's the only way to wake the bastards up.
