> Those are good questions that you pose, and for what we all know here, we will never have an answer most likely. I do agree on the last statement as well, the modification of the road test would only go so far. Youre still going to have your idiots who drive without one, **or still drive recklessly in poor situations(Im not condemning anybody with that statement, as I, as well as 99% of the people out there have driven recklessly at one time or another).** Its just a measure to maybe make it a little more of a test to prove driver ability, especially in handling situations and what not. Its never going to 100% solve the problem, and my thoughts may not be the way to do it, but In the end somebody will come around with something that will help to reduce the issues. I guess only time will tell

Kudos to you for not sitting on a high horse realizing that most of the enthusiasts break the rules, quite occasionally.

The problem is, everybody can break a rule but few can be “mature” about it.

There is a large difference between reckless speeding in rush hour traffic and passing on median etc VS being alone in a back country road at night for a pleasure cruise. Drag racing in the middle of the city VS empty highways at night.

Unfortunately in this case, attempting a pass on a double yellow is not a “mature” way about it.

This is at least the third High School aged death in the area related to a speed related pass on a double yellow I can remember in the last 6 years.

Technically this was an issue here as well.
