Bad drivers
I have been seeing a marked increase in bad drivers the past couple weeks, especially the idiots who pull up into the pedestrian walkway area. One guy's car was not only blocking it entirely, but was too far into the intersection anyway.
I think the laws should be changed so that anyone with a driver's license has to pass a written test once a year, either in person at the DMV or online, in order to keep their license. If they fail the test, their license is suspended until they pass their second attempt. If they fail the second attempt, they are required to take both a written test AND a driving test, to get their license back.
Even if people cheated on the online version, they would at least have to look up the answers and thus would be reminded of the rules, which would really be the point of the yearly test. (Well, that and weeding out bad drivers.) And I think the test should look for the same answers for some rules, but the questions worded differently each time, so they either have to look up the answer multiple times, or use their brain for more than holding their ears apart.
Yeah, this should be the new system.
