Many would say that not only do we have enough driving regulations now in most states, we have too much.  |
No, not really. The Government already intervenes by having regulations for driver training in preparation for a person to earn a driver's license. Improving driver education means just doing a better job at what we have already agreed to let Government do.
Most states have an effective period for how long licenses remain active before they are renewed. That would be the time for retesting, it would be up to the individual to decide whether he needs to attend a driver training course in advance of retesting to renew his driver's license. Making the initial training more effective and making renewal testing more difficult to pass (than just a vision test) may require continuing (refresher) education is just doing a better, more effective job at training the driving population.
The discussion of this thread pertains to additional and new requirements for monitoring behavior via electronic surveillance technology (and making it mandatory).
