Ha, I once saw a lady try to merge into a lane with a bus coming at her. She didn't shoulder check and the bus smashed right into her. Then when she got out of the car she started b!tching to the driver of the bus. LOL
I don't agree with annual driving tests, that would be way too much of a pain, but they need to implement something like every 5-10 years you need to go in again to do a road test. I won't bash any one group of people as being worse than others, but in general they need to do something because there is way too many drivers on the streets of Calgary who do not deserve their license.
Oh and I think Driver's Ed should be
mandatory. It isn't that expensive ($400 for me 3 years ago through my school), and you get insurance discounts, which is totally worth it. Not to mention you learn how to drive PROPERLY.
