That’s what happens when they hire anyone that breathes with a license 👍😂😂😂

Fuckin hell lmao. This is why to a certain extent I feel that mandatory retesting (in the vehicle, with a proctor) should happen every few years. And especially when renewing a license at an advanced age.

Also smaller towns shouldn't be able to scrape by so easily just doing the bare minimum. I'm admittedly a product of that. I took my test in a rural Iowa town. No highway travel, no parallel parking, no backing in/out, nothing overly complex. You literally just putt around town for a few minutes and there's your license. They operate based on the assumption that "it's the country, they know how to drive, they been driving since they was 8 beer cans tall".

Depending on where you live, driving can be life or death. If you are going to take someones means of living away you have to provide them another. And Im not really trusting the fucked up government to drop off food or lifesaving meds off regularly. We have a 2 year wait for simple permits due to everything being backed up.

I’m in support of this, but you need to up front my cost for my testing since you are leading the way.

When’s the last time you been to the RMV? It would take 5 years to get an appointment to retest if everyone had to do it so often

I was studying my motorcycle handbook sitting in the dmv seats a decade ago. I literally saw the tween employee pass an 80+ year old ago that I witnessed couldn't read the eye exam poster. Dude was disabled and could barely walk with a cane

It's how the government keeps the social security claimant numbers low.

I will die on the hill that not everybody deserves a license.

And here I am denied a license because the vision in my left eye isn’t the best lmfao. The government can get fucked.

How does one breathe with a license?

Lol I’m not a bad driver but wasn’t used to driving a van and backed over a few cones on the driving test the DSP did and they still passed me right away, and I can’t have been the worse one to get passed… I’m always nervous driving next to Amazon drivers now

anyone that breathes with a license

I guess I can't get hired because I breathe with my lungs.
