Given that TV has certainly grown since then, it would be silly to think that we don't have folks who still fit that situation.
As to arbitrary stops/checkpoints, that subject can be looked upon from several angles and I don't see a 'one size fits all' answer.
While I don't want to be sharing the road with someone who is not insured or is impaired (for any reason), I also believe that a hard look should be given the number of folks who are physically not capable of driving safely due to age and/or other medical issues.
I see (and dodge) way too many people driving around TV, that in my opinion, should have had their licenses revoked a long time ago.
Maybe it's past time to require driving tests for those over a certain age?
I'm not sure what the ultimate answer is, but before one group/demographic gets singled out for being the problem...I think all factors should be taken into account.  |
This has nothing to do with golf carts.
Why.? If I can drive around illegally with no chance of getting caught, why would I take test. When you stop everybody or every 10th car or so your not singling out certain group. They just ran out of luck!
When I was working I was subject to random tests. I got random drugs tests 26 times in 20 years. At least they told me it was random. I was tested 2500% more than my coworker.
