I don't know... My state has just decided to start enforcing another stringent law that requires drunk drivers to put bright yellow license plates with red letters on their vehicle. A "shame" motivation to not D&D I guess.Originally posted by chegitz guevara
While I agree, it would be political suicide.
A judge running for office could use the 5 year test as a decent platform plank I think. I think a lot of voters would support it, or at least a short written exam with an eye check.Comment

Yeah, thank Mothers Against Drunk Driving for these bull**** draconian laws. We just had our limit lowered to .08, which is completely ridiculous.Originally posted by Ogie Oglethorpe

I could visualise a reverse bell curve of sorts in terms of the frequency for administering tests. Lots of testing when you first get a license, less, then more again at the much older ages.A judge running for office could use the 5 year test as a decent platform plank I think.

I can't say I'd support such a measure. It'd invite attacks on the person by people who are unconnected with the particular crime.Originally posted by Harry Tuttle

What about New Jersey and Maggie's Law? What do people here think of that?I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Wonder if the old guy drove himself to the police station to surrender this morning. Or whether he's driving up and down bridge suspension cables right now like Mr. Magoo.Comment

I don't think most people would support mandatory re-tests for everybody every 5 years. Most tests require you to do paralell parking, which many people don't remember how to do."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

1st of course. Can't think of much more evil a crime than Pedophilia. Nothing but victimizing innocents. The crime that keeps on hurting."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Mandatory testing a regular intervals would be good, certainly.
Another issue is that of medication. I think lots of these elderly drivers who fall asleep at the wheel and whatnot are on medication that may be the primary cause of it. I don't know if the medication has enough warnings on it, or if there are laws in place to punish those who drive while on such medication.
My uncle (in law) recently had his 2nd or 3rd accident due to falling asleep at the wheel, largely due to medication (apparently. they're down in NC, and I only hear what my mother relays to me, and since I don't really care...). Anyway, the guy just shouldn't be on the road.

Do'h! I meant the new law in Jersey that targets sleepy drivers. Why was I thinking Maggie's law?
Well anyway, New Jersey is considering a law that would target drivers that haven't slept for over 24 hours.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
