I've seen some pretty crazy things drivers have done. Just today I saw someone pull a U turn right in front of me going down a one way road! I say test drivers every 10 years. I'm willing to put my tax dollars towards that.
There ought to be a law against people like that. The NERVE...Originally posted by GENIERE
Many rude people drive today. Just the other day, I was on the freeway in the center lane doing about 80mph with my cell-phone tucked between my right shoulder and ear. I was holding my pager in my left hand, steering with my knees, and writing with my right hand on a note pad attached to the center of the steering wheel. I was somewhat distracted when my lit cigarette fell between my legs. Looking up, I found myself in the left lane. The driver of the car behind me was blowing his horn and gesturing violently. He was very rude!

Having driving tests every 10 years ensures that drivers are regularly evaluated and have the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate a vehicle on the road. It also helps to identify any changes in a driver's abilities due to age or health conditions.
Regular driving tests help to improve road safety by ensuring that drivers are up-to-date with current traffic laws and regulations. It also helps to identify any bad driving habits and provides an opportunity for drivers to refresh their knowledge and skills.
The initial driving test is designed to assess a person's ability to operate a vehicle and follow traffic laws. However, driving tests every 10 years are focused on evaluating a driver's ongoing abilities and ensuring they are still capable of safely driving on the road.
In most cases, yes. However, some states may have exemptions for certain groups of drivers, such as those with disabilities or medical conditions that prevent them from taking the test. It is important to check with your local DMV for specific requirements.
The DMV may use a variety of factors to determine when a driver needs to retake their driving test, such as age, driving record, or reports from family members or healthcare professionals. In some cases, a driver may also be required to retake the test if they have been involved in multiple traffic violations or accidents.
