The problem with driving safety is that too many drivers are NOT coming to a full stop at stop signs and many are driving at 40 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. Those problems can only be fixed by more Police handing more tickets out or tickets from speed cameras. I think that changing the number of years that a driver's license is valid MIGHT ???? have some INCREMENTAL improvement on traffic safety. I think that most Villagers are smart enough to have their vision tested at least every 2 years.
