<0> i say twice convicted and no license!
<1> null: a large part of them anyways
<0> VemoD, huh?
<0> you think people hit 60 and become brain dead?
<2> yeah i was just going to mention the elderly heh
<3> morning fellow politicans!
<2> try riding a motorcycle around em :>
<1> I said a large part of them....and yes I do think they end up ****ing as drivers
<0> try not lane splitting if you want to live to 60
<0> ageist
<1> :)
<2> i don't lane split, but i have once to keep myself out of danger
<2> then i got yelled at by some jarhead
<0> ha
<1> Well the yes go, the reaction goes...yes I think road tests should be required every 5 years
<2> not all that long ago, and i was on the bike, i watched an old man in a truck plow straight into multiple cross lanes of traffic
<1> yes = eyes....well yes the eyes go ;)
<1> Those old guys drive worse than the drunk people do....and I'm serious
<2> cpl months before that i actually saw an old man driving up the wrong side of the road of a major st
<0> yeah, but n ot 60 year olds
<1> And they do it in the daytime when there is a lot of traffic to hit....
<0> maybe 75
<2> the old man in the truck had to be at least 75 heh
<2> christ he looked 90
<2> he couldn't even get OUT of his vehicle
<1> linus: Whatever you think. I'm proposing a mandatory road test every 5 years
<0> we're trying to get my mom to stop driving
<0> hopefully florida's driving test for seniors will do the trick
<2> which brings up another point, i'm not all convinced legally disabled people aren't generally bad drivers
<4> Linus-: You are IRCing from the car?
<0> what?
<0> where did you get that notion?
<4> <+Linus-> we're trying to get my mom to stop driving
<0> you're kidding me
<4> *sigh*
<5> i dont think we should categorize people (disabled people, old people, drunks, etc) just have a simple functional test like i described. you fail, you no drive. too old? not enough time? which one was the green button again? no, **** you! don't want you on the roads with me.
<0> yes, presently ive got a l***o round her neck and my brother a gun to her temple
<4> ?rac eht morf gniCRI era ouY :-suniL
<4> There, I took it back.
<2> what about people who just aren't capable of driving the vehicle they are in properly, but can p*** non-driving relating tests
<0> ???
<4> Soon Instant Messaging will replace vehicles anyway.
<5> BeGodlike it's a functional test, to be administered when the cop pulls you over for doing something wrong such as an improper lane change, etc
<1> It makes sense to me Null
<0> your wheels have come off Yaakov
<5> they could have something else as a pre-qualifier to get your license, i'm okay with that too
<0> i requested 2x from AAA a computer based driving response test to admin to my mom
<5> i think far fewer people should be driving, and i don't care if it upsets a few people
<4> We just bought a new (to us) vehicle, for cash. Yay, no car loans.
<2> what if the lane change is due to a blind spot that the unconcious driver is too stupid to realize
<0> i have yet to receive it 6 months later
<1> Why *not* have road tests more often?
<0> money
<5> if they're unconscious, they definitely shouldn't be driving :P
<4> Cars don't kill people, drivers kill people!
<1> linus: honest answer
<0> an unconscious driver is gonna be a problem ;)
<5> i think you should have to take a road test everytime you renew, and everytime you get a ticket for any moving violation, to re-prove you are capable of handling it.
<5> don't like that? i don't care.
<0> Null_Ptr, who foots the bill for hiring more driving test personnel?
<0> that'd be a m***ive undertaking for large states
<5> Linus- drivers and driving applicants would be the logical answer
<0> and the additional paperwork to process
<5> laziness is no reason to not do something
<0> a whole nother layer of bureacracy whee
<1> In every slimey politician way and realistic way I can look at it...I think Linus is right
<1> Money
<0> well, it boils down to state legislatures determining if the risk is big enough to justify the costs to deal with it
<2> if they just forced SUV/truck/van drivers to do a p***/fail test of parallel parking i'm sure that'd eliminate many off the road
<5> i would be all for that
<0> i reckon more people die from the flu each year than from old drivers
<0> BeGodlike, haha
<0> amen to that
<0> any parking spot
<5> linus is secretly 95 years old and still driving
<0> secret: 17 facelifts
<5> hehe
<1> ;)
<6> I need to parrallel park maybe twice a year
<6> some years never
<1> Okay...I'll become less serious since you guys can't handle the hot sauce
<1> heh...whatever I just said :)
<0> i once witnessed a lady chop her leg off parallel parking!
<5> we can handle serious conversation, if it's interesting & worthy
<5> otherwise, ragging on old people driving it is
<0> it was a one way street and she was trying to park along left curb
<0> opened her driver door to get better view of distance from curb and dangled her leg out a little
<5> too bad she didn't do it when she was younger, might have kept those genes out of the pool
<1> null: No...I'm asking why not have a road test every five years?
<1> null: Thats all...
<0> when she struck curb with back tire the door slammed on her leg around mid-shin
<5> vemod i would be all for that
<5> vemod it would be an improvement
<7> Good morning everybody :-)
<0> it almost completely severed it
<5> good morning
<0> i got sick to my stomach
<7> oh man
<7> this happen to somebody you know?
<1> null: And then linus said...."money"
<0> i had just been cpr/1st aid certified but i couldnt even look at it, so i volunteered to run and call 911 ;)
<1> null: Which I think is truely the reason it doesn't happen
<0> nope, just happened to be walking down sidewalk with 2 friends in berkeley
<5> i agree that it doesn't happen because the perception of the risk is not great enough to overcome opposition from a) old people who are bad drivers and would be excluded and b) the best government is no government people
<0> hrm, that's another good point
<0> seniors vote
<0> heres my idea: we take old people
<0> ppl's cars...
<1> But this would just weed out the people who can operate a car from those who can't
<1> There's no age involved
<0> and give them to young, responsible but underemployed people
<4> Give everyone over 60 a chauffer.
<1> I'm sure there's 90 year olds who can tear it up
<0> who must chaffeur seniors around during certain hrs but get the car free
<4> NO FREE CAR
<0> yes dear
<1> But I'm sure there are also 60 year olds who are blind...and don't think they look ***y wearing their specs
<4> USE SLAVES^WILLEGALS!
<0> ***y?
<1> Girls are ****ed up that way
<0> girls?
<1> Well...they *can* be
<0> we're talking 60 year olds
<0> do you call 60 year old men "boys?"
<5> we just need to find a way to convert old people directly into gasoline
<1> Sure
<2> lol
<0> soylent crude!
<4> Null_Ptr: Thermal Depolymerization.
<4> Gasoline is People!
<4> Null_Ptr: And I am NOT kidding about TD.
<0> have service stations named Dahmer
<1> knitpicking....
<5> yes
<5> soylent crude
<1> Whatever...soilent greed
<0> "I'm gonna fill up down at the jeffrey"
<0> uncle jed's texas tea
<7> man
<7> earll up near $74 this morning
<2> lol
<2> i was just thinking 'barrels' too
<0> l0, because of iran statements
<7> remember when it went over $50 and they said that they didn't think it'd go any higher
<7> ahhaha
<7> funny that
<7> yeah
<7> imo, b/c of their oil, Iran has a lot to lose by going to war
<0> all iran has to do is threaten oil flow cutoff and prices spike
