I will happily be inconvenienced for a knowledge test at renewal. That alone will prevent a number of unqualified people from getting behind a wheel. Will it truly stop bad drivers? No, but it's a step forward

I get the feeling this test is going to turn into a 10-minute video where the question is "Did you watch this video?"

I got my license late in life, and even well into the 2000s, my pre-license test featured an introduction from President Clinton and scout's honor that I had been behind the wheel. Then I had to complete this brain buster to prove I knew what these terms meant.

Our entire society is so built around requiring a driver's license that the agency sworn to gatekeep it to only the most competent cannot risk handing down a death sentence to an individual by failing them on it.

The random shapes apart from stop and forward/backward drive me nuts.
