Nice!
We should send the language to legislators in our own states if we do not have similar language in our drivers manuals.
I'll check my state, Minnesota, now.

The other thing needed is to get that info out to people who already have driver's licenses.
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

That is tougher than ever before. Now people in a town don't all listen to the same local news and read the same paper. People get information from a huge variety of sources, most of which is not local, and unfortunately, much is from sources that simply reinforce your own preexisting beliefs.

Frankly, we probably should all have to retake the written drivers test when we renew our licenses. That would force people to keep up on the current state of the law and current issues with driving. But that isn't likely to happen.

This. And, you're probably right, it's unfortunately not likely to happen. Originally Posted by goldfinch
