I can't resist anymore.
IN MY OPINION, the REAL PROBLEM is that we have a "one size fits all" licensing system in a real
world where people have different levels of ability. When you ask everyone to walk as slow as the
slowest member of the party, some people get frustrated and break away. When you enforce this
ridiculous rule with a hammer and support it with biased data (that is looking at a totally
different problem); those who break away become defensive and begin to reform into an "anti" group.
This anti movement led to the recent increase in speed limits, but the problem remains, and will
until it is recognized and addressed. We are not created equally skilled, only equally valued. AND
CARS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL AT ALL! If you drive a car that is safe at 100 MPH and you have trained
to drive at 100 MPH and you have demonstrated that you are a law abiding responsible citizen who
will adjust to conditions and circumstances, you should get a 100 MPH license. You would probably
need a special key and a transponder on the vehicle, but you could drive 100 MPH. Of course if we
had an enlightened robot controlled transportation system you could travel much faster without
driving and be in a better mood when you got to your destination. BUT SO MUCH FOR MY OPINION. Under
current conditions we all need to walk slow so the less able won't feel bad.
Have a great day,
Dan
