Bad Drivers

 

Please remove the idiots from the roads. The way most states handle driving licenses and permits is that they are a right people are due. It should be a privilege based on training and skills the same as with pilots. Maybe even more so since you are guaranteed to be in close proximity to others.

Almost everyday I see someone driving recklessly beyond reason, or worse - someone driving who obviously does not know the rules of the road. I realize every so often you may get in a hurry and speed or change lanes frequently or get in an accident (by accident of course). That happens. There are people who do not know the rules of right-of-way, turning, etc. that should not be driving until they learn how.

We need to have stricter guidelines on who is allowed to drive on public roads. I do not believe this will drastically reduce the number of drivers, but I do expect people will make an effort to learn how to drive.

I get so frustrated sitting at a light to turn left when the car opposite trying to go straight is just sitting there waiting for me to go. They have right of way and need to go! By both of us sitting there, people behind us get aggravated and then more likely to get upset later down the road at someone else causing accidents and road rage.

I propose having much stricter guidelines and tests for getting a license, and I believe the punishment for driving without one should be strong enough to be real punishment not just a small fine. People driving without the proper skills risk the lives of others. This is unacceptable on a such a large level.
