why having a re-test should be mandatory when you re-new your driving licence!
Just because YOU can afford to drive an expensive car, does not mean I can afford for you to drive like an ASS!
This happened yesterday when I was out running errands with my son in the car and yes I am still hoppin about it! Twice, I was nearly hit while I was in the SAME CAR PARK by two different well older than me drivers driving very expensive cars, driving like Asses. Now I realize that is why I pay insurance, but I can not afford for my insurance to go up nor can I afford to fork out for a new car as I was driving the cheap one that does not have replacement value because we only paid $500 for it when we first arrived in Calgary and HAD TO GET A CAR! yes we have gotten our value out of it, but with our current economic state we need to get more value out of it before we move on to another vehicular structure.
Mind you, I think what made me more mad was that I had my son in the car. Now if you know me at all, I am wildly protective of my children. Yes they do wrong at times and they are justly punished for it, but DON’ EVER CAUSE HARM OR UNJUSTLY TALK ABOUT THEM! At least not with out incurring the wrath of this Gargoyle scorned! And not once, but twice was the side of the car that Healthy Weighty Wee Man was sitting on almost impacted by someone not paying attention to what was going on around them. Yes, I alluded to their age, but both drivers were not so old my initial thought was that they should no longer be driving, but they were well older than me, and I’m not young anymore! I have said it before and I’ll say it again, I personally think that being re-tested both the theory and road tests should be mandatory when re-newing your driving licence ~ for everyone, including me! (not that I am in the practice of driving like an Ass!)
