One of my best friends was killed by a lady who said she couldn't see over the dashboard. So why then was she even allowed to drive a car? Regulations for driving only require passing these bogus tests at the DMV. There is no checking to see if some cars are really practical or safe for some drivers, especially the elderly. There are so many things missing that makes getting a license to drive such a joke. For instance there are no car simulators for first time drivers, or older drivers to check their refluxes or cognitive skills in situations which can't be duplicated in drivers training or the DMV parking lot.

There are literally millions of drivers out there who are like time bombs waiting to go off because they probably renewed their four-year license by mail. You ever take a serious look at half the people milling around aimlessly at the local mall. Think about that when a car is fast approaching your rear at 60 mph. Riding on busy streets and highways is Russian Roulette for sure when you add in that all the factors including cell phones, texting, music discs, ect. Oh, and don’t forget drugged and drunk drivers, which I had other friends killed by those types. The asphalt frontier truly is a jungle filled with so many variables that can get you, and it’s getting more crowded all the time.

Last time I checked there was roughly 250 million cars being used in the USA, nearly one for every man, women and child. We are car crazy nation for sure, and that doesn’t count big trucks and other various units like buses, etc. I believe I remember reading that around 5 million commute to work by bicycle from the old census. That number doesn’t surprise me, Copenhagen we are not!
