OK. Here's the second topic I am raising continued from this thread- http://sigarms556.com/viewtopic.php?t=8 ... light=part
My second topic is "drivers licenses". The question I pose is do you think it would be a good idea to have different levels of drivers licenses based upon ones driving record, skill and vehicle type or condition? Let me expand on this. I believe getting a drivers license should be more difficult than it is and if that was the case their would be less accidents and less fatalities. I propose having a basic license like now, but having the option to train and obtain an advanced license to legally drive faster than current speed limits in a dedicated lane only for people holding this license and a vehicle equipped to operate safely at higher speeds. No more slow people holding up drivers who can drive faster an still be safe. If you want to drive slower so be it, but you won't be able to use the lane for advanced drivers or you will be fined. It's similar to how we are already supposed to use the highway but as we all know it's not enforced and doesn't work. To get the license you would require the basic license plus take an advanced driving test on a special course and have your vehicle inspected to meet requirements for driving at high speed. I hate to see a guy in a Mustang or Corvette or BMW that is a good driver not be able to take advantage of what his car is actually built for anddrive it that way. What do you guys/gals think? Is this a good idea or is it some Utopian unrealistic idea that only looks good on paper? All opinions welcome
