do you think that the driving limit should be raised in general?

Yes, 18 is a perfect age. I didn't get my driver's license until I was 18 and didn't get a car until I was 18. By then I had already graduated from high school. I don't like how in high school there were people flossing their rides while the others walked and what not.

if i had my way i would raise it to age 21. some  young people drive like madmen. excessive speeding and not abiding the rules of the road.

Absolutely. \nThe driver is entrusted with the lives of children and should not do anything to endanger them. A crash at freeway speeds to children in a bus can be fatal.\nEdit.\nNot to mention the danger to other people on the road.

No they should not.. they should maneuver around the traffic stopped in front of them.. or wait until a policeman gives direct instruction to the drivers in front of them to move

What could bring order out out chaos on the roads faster than heavily fining or jailing morons who endanger the lives of others. \n\nOh, I know! Higher insurance rates which also often result from the actions of fool hardy drivers.\n\nI'd double the fines if I was Dictator for a Day to let the stupid people drive themselves to the poorhouse.

It's not just over 60, but everyone should be tested every so often. Five years, 8 years, 10 years, I don't care. I see too many people of all ages that pick up bad habits that they need something to refresh them on the proper way to drive.

No. Many people seem to forget that driving is a privilege NOT a right. If you are too old, too short, too young, too drunk, or too stupid you should NOT be allowed to drive. It is not offensive to question this as it is about the safety of the entire community.

it is the gov't responsiblity to make sure you are safe.  that's is why there are laws against things that could potentially kill you.  so yes it's a good idea for wheelies to be illegal.  i wouldn't want my son seeing some idiot doing such nonsense on the freeway and then trying to go home and copy and kill himself.  plus doing wheelies on the freeway not only endangers your life, it endangers the innocent lives around you.  is that fair to us just trying to drive?

Nope!\nIt's not fair at all!\nAlthough I don't drive 4x4, I still think that is a stupid idea.\nIf you can afford to drive "big " car, you'll also be able to afford any taxes.\nRaising the road taxes won't stop people to buy and drive 4x4

I agree that the government shouldn't be telling people what to do in their own vehicle, and I think that it should be a personal choice. I choose to buckle up most of the time. Force of habit I guess.

if we would stop all cars in cities we could make it easier for all to get around. This seems crazy, but it isn't. The cites are over run with cars which makes it hard on other forms of transportation, but if we remove the cars this would encourage more to ride bikes and walk. This would only would like in a down town area, but might could be expanded as you implement it. Would also need parking areas and bike storage garages.

As a firefighter/paramedic, I have to say that the guy who said most people are respectful has never driven an emergency vehicle.  Yes, there should be MUCH stiffer penalties.  Ignoring emergency vehicles puts too many people in danger.  I don't think this needs to be regulated at a federal level, but it would be great if the police would start enforcing the laws that are already on the books.

crazy answer, but it has been going around lately, we should pay what Europe is paying for gas . i know crazy but if gas were to go up to $10/ gallon around 20% of our drivers would be taking public transit. this would cut down accidents by 35-40%. and on the plus side those taking transit would have time to sleep, read or get that extra bit of work in on the way to work, and save some more bucks.

Local jurisdictions are permitted to set these limits, subject to a maximum defined in federal statutes (as these are federal highways).  Nothing complicated or puzzling about it.

I think there are enough open roads to allow for it safely. Provided the right roads are assigned the correct MPH, then I see no problem with it.

I think it should be treated just like beer and unfortified wine are (in the US).  Taxed, sure. Age-restricted. Available through retail stores (not ABC/state stores).  Available in bars/pubs/etc. And, just like beer and wine, individuals should be allowed to produce up to a certain amount at home annually.  DWI laws already cover driving offenses.\n\nOh, and revenues would roll in from production and sales. Some depressed economies would turn around and become boom economies.  Tax revenues would be enormous.  PLUS!!!  We'd save billions on police, courts and jails by not arresting and jailing people for pot!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely, no one makes more than the government and that's why we have this antiquated traffic light system instead of the adaptive control system that cycle only when there is a break in traffic. (don't stop 50 cars to let one go).  On that 50 cents they use a large part of it to support their lavish life styles and it never goes back into transportation. You are right on the money. The more we use the more the government makes so where is the incentive????
