My grandfather died in 1998 with a valid driver's license in his wallet and he took the only test he ever had to take in a brand new 1919 Chandler. He had been driving for years but the company made all of their drivers get licensed. Okay, let's do away with tags, and driver's licenses. Someone rear ends you, they just leave, no harm no foul, right? They hit run you, and you get there plate number. Still hard to prove they hit you legally. Oh, horse****!!! Have someone hit and run you on a California freeway, and find out the answer. You simply call the cops, give them the license number, they go find the car, see the damage, done. Been there done that. |
