I'm right with ya on that one X. We're way too lax on testing drivers. It's true that speed demons and people who weave through lanes are a problem, but a big part of that problem is, for example, people who stay in the left lane or who don't use turn signals.

I am guilty of road rage myself sometimes, I'll admit, and prolly 75% of the time is when some idiot won't get over. Or even worse, when two people are going the same speed. Then you get about a dozen cars stacked behind them who, when the opening occurs, will zip between them to get around.

And then there's older drivers. I've got nothing against senior citizen drivers who are still competent, even if they do drive too slow. But there's no excuse for allowing those few who just aren't in control of their vehicle or are aware of their surroundings to keep driving. We need to have more continual testing every few years, and it should get more frequent as you get older. It'll never happen though.
