Ken,
Getting a drivers license IS a priviledge, not a right. If it were a right,
there would NOT be a TEST! I am all for making the driving test harder.
Just yesterday I witnessed a very stupid driver pull out onto a 4 lane road,
with a single turn lane in the middle, and drive 1/3 mile in the turn lane to
make a left turn. Don't people know what a turn lane is for? It's not a
special third lane to turn into a traffic lane at their own choosing.
We definately need better driver education and a harder driving test!
