Q1: Should there be mandatory road testing for all drivers after they reach a certain age?

The majority of you, seventy-five percent, said there should be mandatory road testing for all drivers after a certain age.

Q2:At what age should all drivers be required to take another driving test?

Thirty percent of you thought that age should be 60. Twenty-five percent thought it should 65 and twenty percent said 70. Thirteen percent of you said never.

Q3: Should mandatory re-testing be implemented for commercial drivers at age 65?

Sixty-two percent of you said there should be mandatory testing for commercial drivers at age 65.

Q4: Are you in favor of a National Commercial Drivers License issued by the Federal Government?

It was a fifty-fifty spit on the National Commercial Driver's License issue.

Personnally, I think the mandatory road testing should be required for 4-wheeler drivers, not so much for truck drivers. I can't tell you how many times I've narrowly missed an accident by having to avoid granny and grampa in the buick or caddy. Though I am also for stricter testing of teenagers and first-time license holders. Those are the two age groups that are involved in the most accidents.

...just giving my two cents worth...

I refuse to participate in a poll such as this. Any thing that provides information some agency can use to enact new laws to keep people from earning a living is out, as far as I am concerned.

I think that anyone who earns a living doing this should be accountable. Even so, Americans are right to be paranoid, NQ. Maybe not as paranoid as you, but Big Brother is watching...
