Should America Have an Advanced Drivers License?

Let’s be honest, it isn’t hard to get a drivers license in this country. In fact, it’s pathetically easy; which is probably why so many people wreck. But what about those of us who are great drivers and would like to get a little more out of our cars? We are forced to suffer through the same insanely slow speed limits on interstates and highways as the drivers who suck. So, what if we had an advanced system? Here’s what I propose…

To get this advanced license I propose pretty strict requirements.

1. No tickets for 5 years. If you get a ticket you lose your advanced license and fines are         double. Particularly for speeding and reckless driving.

2. Must complete an advanced driving school like Skippy or Bondorant which would                 demostrate the ability to control your car at higher speeds.

3. License fees would be significantly higher then an average license.

4. Driver must be at least 21 years old.

5. Driver must license individual cars as well as the driver for the advanced license                 program. Each car must past a rigourus inspection yearly to ensure the car is safe to         drive at higher speeds. This would include inspections on tires, brakes, alignment, etc.

6. Every year the driver would be required to take both a sight and driving test to insure the     drivers skills have not declined.

So, what do you think? Why do we – the car guy – have to suffer with the average joe who we all know can’t drive? Let’s get an advanced program.
