Out here in cali its a combo of all types... youve got the "whipper-snapper" kids my age in their sports cars, the "uber yuppies" of all ages in their 05' Audis, Merc AMGs, an M cars who seem to think that rush hour on any of the freeways is their own personal Autobahn, youve got the "soccer moms" doin their hair & drinking trippple lattes in SUV's full of kids barreling along at 85MPH, the "macho guys" in their rasied pick ups looking down on everyone like theyre in a monster truck rally tailagting and speeeding, mr. and mrs. jones riding your bumper zoned out after a 12 hour day in a cubicle, and then you have ol gramps and grams pushin 55MPH, no more, adding to the congestion!!!! Its INSANITY.
Not that any of these people are "bad people", but a stricter liscensing process would surely filter out some of the folks who seem to have an altered perception of what driving means. And hopefully the majority of the ones who do get their license will have a better understanding of what exactly is "on the plate" when it comes to getting behind the wheel- and will hopefuully gain the knowlegde of how driving responsibly can dramatically reduce the amount of accidents and near accidents on the road, in addition to knowing how to react properly when an accident is going to happen- beacause in the reality of today, accidents ARE going to happen.
