Default Re: Texting and Driving

I'm all for banning cell phones while driving. I'm also all for periodic driving tests, oh, say, every 3-5 years or so. That would get a lot of the elderly off the road (as previously mentioned) that should NOT be driving. I work part time at a supermarket, and some of the people that pull into the handicapped spaces beg me to bring them those electric carts. Some are obese, some are injured and others are so old that they LITERALLY cannot see over the steering wheel, and even if they could-- probably still couldn't see the road..

And for that matter, I'm also sick and tired of being tailgated while doing 10 over by someone with a handicapped hangtag/license plate. If you're given a citation for speeding and you have a handicap provision on your car/license, it should be revoked. That shit is a priviliege and I think if you drive recklessly, you shouldn't be entitled to it.
