I don't think it's intentionally rehashed, but rather speaks to the human condition. Many of these ideas repeat, but are arrived at independantly. Nice to know others out there "think like I do." I often wonder why a license is required to drive, but not to raise a child. No qualifications necessary. And that reads like a troll.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
The key is not licensing, but education. There are a lot of drivers out there that may understand the laws, but still not know how to drive in a fluid situation. Some learn by experience, but most are destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. No one ever learned anything from getting a license. It's a meaningless, bureacratic hoop.
This is a funny read when you realize that the point of driver licenses is not to have competent people on the road. It's for tracking, and revenue/cost offset. The lack of a license does not prevent one from operating a vehicle, just like that double-yellow line does not physically prevent someone from coming into your lane...
