Here they require you to take the test in a cubicle and no conversation with anyone is allowed or you are immediately shown the door. I guess my background of solution oriented thinking is just obsolete in today's world. Just another old fool who has no concept of what will or won't work. I have asked many State troopers here why they just don't start really nailing the common offenses I see every day in the hundreds. Save lives and balance the budget. I could carry a video capable system with me daily and probably keep the traffic courts full single handed.

Aggressive driving here has become second nature, even to mothers, with a cell phone stuck in their ear driving 5k pounds of SUV 20 feet off your back bumper at 65 MPH, 100 feet per second with absolutely no room for even reaction time.

It would be nice to live in an area of the country where there were miles and miles of roads without a single traffic fatality in a decade, but to go there would require me leaving all of those I care about including the wife. Peace and quiet at such a high price, sometimes is a very tempting alternative.
