HELL NO I'm not surprised. I have the trained eye from being a safety driving instructor and point person at work. I also have to drive a company truck with a "blow me" sticker on the back.

Government wants more power over us... I think this is one place where I'd agree... Expand drivers licensing operations - mandatory retesting every 5 years and initial testing requiring much tougher scoring...

I have always been a fan of graduated licenses. Pass the highest level and get a blue license plate that says you can drive as fast as you want...
Anyhow I am not suprised at the study and you guys know how easy our testing requirements are now right? 25 questions, parallel park and you walk with a a license here. So how many would fail if they used a real proficiency test? Had a decent quiz?

They always are and not just in this subject!!!
I'm all fine for testing and shit. But let's face it, most of society can't do it. Look at the current cars... They can't backup without sensors, beeps, and cameras. They can't check their blind spots without the car doing it for them and give them a warning light. They can't parrellel park either so now they rely on the car to do it for them. They can't pay attention to the road and stoping vehicles in front of them, so now the car will stop for them. And my favorite I've noticed is, they can't drive manual stick shifts so the dealers do F'in stock them. Then look at me like I've sprouted a 3rd head when I tell them, it's a true drivers car with a stick. Let's face it, society is F'in stupid and are making themselves stupider. At this point they are so stupid they don't even realize what they are doing to themselves. |
