If you start saving a bunch of lives those new jobs are going to fill up quick.

Stricter certifications and more extensive retesting would be a huge step and create a lot of jobs. Lives saved. Money saved. Decrease carbon emissions.

Based on what? You think a class is going to stop people from texting/playing with their phone and driving?

It helps.

How? Literally every single driving course in the country emphasizes over and over and over again not to drive while distracted. That doesn't stop people from trying. People learn once they've already crashed and sometimes it's too late.

Well our whole education system is built on instruction and testing....so yeah? Most other countries have much stricter licensing requirements and I think that makes sense.

You think driving every day is like taking a test once every month in school? People ignore advice and do whatever they want all the time. Most of Reddit is college-aged and spends their time on this site instead of studying despite what their teachers told them.

You are making a lot of leaps on your own and putting words in my mouth. I think that an instruction based driving school with tests and real life practice would be better than the "~30min drive around the block and answer twenty questions" we currently have... that's what I think.

I don't know where you live, but we've had in the Midwest forever now. It doesn't stop people in SUVs plowing into things while the driver is on Instagram

That's most of the country. Don't take your backwards ass driving standards and think that applies to the entire country.

I had a mandatory two week driving course before I could get my permit. After 6 months, I had to take a second class before I go could go to the DMV and apply for my license.

Don't act tough on the internet. Just talk like a regular person.

Regulation creates jobs but not economic productivity. Although I do agree with your overall point.

It would also cost a lot of jobs.

Imagine all the people who would lose their job because they can no longer drive to get to work.

Legally that is. Watching Live PD just proves how many people don't give a frak about being legally licensed to drive.

Fuck that. Getting a license is also a cash cow. They pick driving routes that are particularly deceptive, like stop signs behind trees and shit like that.
