    The only reason this would need to be a bill is if people are upset that they are failing the exam. Which means they qre failing the exams, to the surprise of no one.

    What we should be doing instead is making our neighborhoods more accessible to those without cars. I’m sure they feel like their mobility is gone if they lose their license, but that shouldn’t be the case to begin with.

      Really, you can’t think of any reason to be upset that you’re required to take an exam that you then pass?

        I mean the general logic of it isn’t totally off the wall, any more so than say why we’re annoyed that ID laws make it harder to vote.

        But I could still 100% say, obviously if you need/want a drivers license, it’s fair to say you have reliable transportation. At 79 you are almost certainly either not working, or so well established wherever you are that you aren’t at risk of getting fired for needing to schedule a 3 hour trip to the DMV.
