But really what good is a "drivers license?" except of ID purposes?Does a drivers license prove you are able to drive a car? Not really. I know of people who have a license in good standing and are horrible behind the wheel. And there's a lot of people with revoked or suspended licenses who continually drive. So, really, what good does a drivers license do? ************************************************** ********** Around here, they still call driving a 'privlege', and I would hope that the license showes that the driver had the skill/knowledge to pass the requirements at one time. Maybe there should be re-tests every 5-10 years...at least for those 60 & over. This comes up every time someone in their '80s kills a younger person in a traffic 'accident'. Here in the city that usually means a vehicle/pedestrian encounter as often as not with the victim in a crosswalk. |

Don't you have any laws up there that prohibit such activities? -- Imagine being such a worthless p.o.s. that you post on usenet using someone else's ID |

Yes it is a 'privlege' as you say. But that same privlidge" is only for the law abiding citizen. I'm amazed here at how many people have lost their license to DUI etc, and have had multiple offenses, yet they still drive. Lately though, the counties have been not just impounding but confiscating vehicles that belong to the offenders, though. I would hope that could be more of a deturant to DUI offenders to think that they might lose more than a slap and a fine. |
