Driving Issues
Being that i am new to the message board i figured that i would spend
some time reading the older comments that have been left on here and i am relizing that there are many different perspectivet hat people have on the issues of driving on the Highways and Byways of America. Also i have see all the different types of people that everyone has been mentioning. IE. grandmas that are looking through the steering wheel, to the big Of's that drive big trucks to compensate for things that are lacking in there life. Personally I have seen many different ideas that have been tossed around between people about how to take care of the problems, but i think that the one that would work the best the already have in place in some of the states, and that is retesting at an age that the state sets. unfortunately it is optional and if you pass you get an insurance discount, that and it is at the age of 65-80. personally by that age the habits that they have gotten so far ingrained into them that they would barely pass if they passed at all. I say that they have manditory retesting every 10 years, that way it keeps people on there toes and makes sure that they don't start developing the bad habits that everyone sees now day. Also the highway patrols need to start inforcing the underspeed limit, where as, if a person driving is possing an imenant danger to them and the people on the road around them that they get a fine imposed on them, and they have there licenses made invalid for a week. i could keep going on with all kinds of ideas of all the different ways that America could improve its roads by getting rid of the habits that everyone develops while they grow older in years and experience driving. But unfortunately I am also noticing that the government is starting to take notice of the problem, and are thinking that the setup that britain has works really well for them. That is the points system, how it works is that every traffic infraction is assest a point value and that goes onto your record everytime that you screw up and do something wrong. once you reach a certain point level, not only do you end up paying fines but you also end up paying to put your self through a driving school that is a two weeks long, so not only are you out money but your time also. Then you have to pass with a certain score to be able to retest to get your license back, and if you don't get that score, well they would put it, "Your ass be riding the bus for a year, Chap." anyways i will leave it at that for now, and see what everyone thinks of my views on this issue. |

The solution to all the deadly drivers on our highways is prison time.
If you are found to be the cause of a fatal crash, then you should go to prison for at least 20 years. Hey - you KILLED someone. I'm sick of all this criminal coddling. And we need mandatory license suspension for those caught at non-accident moving violations. Again - i'm sick of all this criminal coddling. |

That's right, especially if you're caught doing 41 in a 25mph school
zone, moron. |

Have you considered proper driver training and a better public transit
system? Yes, i have, and i have been to one of those schools. lucky for me it was paid for by someone else, mainly because it cost about $250 for the three day session. But it re-teaches you driving essentails but you are doing over 150 on a road track not 55 of the freeway. i really did learn a lot. |
