So many point you've raised, but I zeroed in on this one. $50K and four years to learn how to drive????

Pure BS!

You can get a commercial pilot's license for less in both time and money...

What you have failed to address, despite our (almost draconian) legislative measures, kids are still dying on our roads in the same numbers.

I am not suggesting for a second that driving at high speed in the wrong environment is safe. Speed needs to be appropriate, and a limit sign does bugger all IMHO to make this determination.

I am suggesting that we look at professional instuction, a rudimentary physical examination, theory and a rigorous driving test. Might cost $1k-$2k.

I'd pay that to keep my kids alive, alert & well trained on our roads.
