Driving

Today, I was supposed to go down to get my drivers permit. But after further reading, I realized that I am ineligible because of the fact that I haven't had an official driving course, which is quite annoying, especially since the permit test is a written test. Although I do believe in setting people up for success, this approach sets up a small group of people up for success; therefore, the rest are set up for failure.

Instead, it might be better we only provided resources to the people that take an active part in learning to drive, instead of those just skating by to get their license. That will help put more responsible drivers on the road, as well as put people that need to be on the road driving.

Going kind of back to my previous post about measurements, the state shouldn't say that when you're 15 years, 6 months old that you will become an instantly safe driver. Because any person can be a good or bad driver, and age is an inaccurate measurement of that.

To solve this, the state should give the drivers license test to anyone, regardless of age or previous driving experience (of course we still should have things like vision tests and background checks), because if a person is a plenty good driver, does it matter their age or driving experience? I don't really see why we should hold these drivers back and other drivers with less skill be on the road with more qualification.
