Do you think adults should be required to take a refresher course on driver's education?
I was just wondering with all the unsafe driving I observe driving to and from work every day if it might help to reduce a lot of the unsafe driving that leads to accidents? For example, I am usually afraid to turn right at intersection when there is oncoming traffic even if my lane is clear because of the fear that a driver in the oncoming left lane is going to change lanes in the intersection and hit me. Changing lanes in an intersection in my state is illegal,but a lot of people don't seem to realize this or care. I don't think most people would support a law requiring adults to go back to a classroom setting and listen to lectures once a week. What if the DMV created some kind of online test that adult drivers could take once every few years at their convenience to re-learn the basic rules of safe driving? A study guide could be sent out by mail with a deadline to take an online test. Even if the test taker cheats on the test and looks up the answers while taking the test, the test taker is still forced to re-read many of the rules he or she may have forgotten years ago. I know adults can choose to take driver's education courses again to reduce their insurance rates but of course there is no law requiring that we all do it. To me it seems like you shouldn't have to learn the rules of safe driving only once in your life considering the human brain does forget things over time. What do you think?
