I have been seriously considering writing to my state representatives about changing the driving laws. I mean, come one, why should I constantly be in fear of getting hit. And it happens more than once a day when I'm driving. And I don't drive very often.
Of course I live in a college town so "people" will always blame the college students. But in all seriousness, it happens more often when the students are gone on their breaks.
SO here is my proposed plan:
1. Let's raise the driving age.
2. For every ticket one receives, when they go to renew their license they have to take the written test again.
3. For every accident one has been in, when they go to renew their license they have to retake the driving portion of the test as well as the written.
----I did think about only making the one at fault do the driving test over, but I think the one who got hit should do it to to practice defensive driving----
4. For everyone at fault in an accident they need to take a defensive driving course at their own expense.
5. Anyone receiving more than one DUI or texting while driving ticket loses their license immediately. Then they have to go through defensive driving, written test and driving test.
5a. If they continue to screw up, then they lose their licenses permanently.
Some other thoughts:
All driving instruction courses and driving tests should include highway and city driving situations.
This is just a start of reform. There is no reason why people should not be using their turn signals and watching the color of lights. A car crash has the potential to disable and kill, so why do we increase the chances of that happening?
If you get pulled over and don't have insurance you go to jail, so why should unsafe driving be ignored? Why is their a higher action for not having insurance than not using your turn signal, when that action can cause an accident?
Do you see where I'm going with this?
