Driving Under the Influence

Driving with Jesus.

In Carrie Underwood's crossover hit "Jesus, Take The Wheel", recently named country music's Single of the Year, a young mother "running low on faith and gasoline" hits a patch of black ice and delegates piloting duties to her own invisible superhero.

Since we're outlawing the use of cell phones while driving, can we also pass laws against allowing Jesus to take the wheel? I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I'd wager that statistically, those who allow their personal savior to drive wind up in more fatal accidents than those who drive while talking on the phone. I'd even bet that it's more dangerous than driving while completely wasted.

For my sake, and the sake of all the other human beings with whom you share a planet, please keep your hands on the wheel, and try to control your own fucking automobile.
