BRING SANITY TO OUR HIGHWAYS

HOW ABOUT SOME HIGHWAY SANITY?
I’ve got some ideas to make driving more pleasant, efficient, and safer too!
"It's not too many cars. It's too many idiots driving cars."

#1. Raise driving age to 18 yrs NO EXCEPTIONS!

#2. Make Written Test essay answer, no more multiple choice!

#3. Print study materials and written tests in English only!

#4. Make written test 100 questions with 80% a pass!

#5. Make written test a timed exam limited to 1 hour!

#6. Re-tests must wait 6 months for a do-over!

#7. Make the driving test more difficult! Include parallel parking, parking on a downgrade, parking on an upgrade, and parking close to a curb.

#8. Include backing up 100 feet & ending within the white lines of a parking space.

#9. Include merging with traffic, passing on a busy street & approaching a yellow traffic light.

#10. Issue a removable “P” Probationary tag to be displayed on all vehicles whose driver has less than 1 year experience. If your "P" driver changes vehicles, the tag does too.

#11. Issue a probationary [1st year] driver license in “Portrait” format with letter “P” superimposed over the license.

#12. Issue double points & fines to anyone cited while still under a probationary license.

#13. Limit passengers for “P” Driver to 2.

#14. Require different license classes for any vehicle weighing over 4,500lb. Issue special class licenses for pickups, vans, motor homes, any size tow-behind trailer. Motorcycle licenses must be in the following categories; over 50cc but less than 250cc vs. over 250cc but less than 500cc vs. over 500cc.

#15. Driver licenses should be valid for only 4 years. They may be renewable by mail only when driver has lost no points off his driver's license. In this case or when 8 years have passed [1 renewal] they’ll have to re-test all phases both written and practical again.

PUNISHMENTS: DUI 1st offence w/no injuries or property damage = 2 years suspension of license, 100 hours community service, and a return to 'ground zero' "P" status upon re-issuance of license.

DUI 2nd offence; permanent revocation of driver license and any fines, jail time, or other punishments as required by law.

DUI 1st offence resulting in death of another, 25years to life imprisonment w/o early release. DUI 2nd offence resulting in death of another, confiscation of all wealth and possessions and the death penalty. EXCEPTION: In the case of dependant spouse or children then all wealth and possessions remain with his or her survivors.
