For the rest of the kids, though, 6 months behind the wheel along with either driver's ed or the parent-taught driver course is all it takes.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-68455130772596818212009-08-24T16:54:25.557-05:002009-08-24T16:54:25.557-05:00Congratulations Steve on training a new cycle-resp...Congratulations Steve on training a new cycle-respecting motorist.

El Paso County published the names of all the folks who had warrants due to failure to pay "driver responsibility" fines. (It results in suspension of driving privileges and and a warrant for your arrest is issued.) The list was 78,000 names long! 11% of the counties population!<br /><br />http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_13001380?IADID=Search-www.elpasotimes.com-www.elpasotimes.com<br /><br />There seems to be a lot more scofflaw motorist behavior going on then is generally let on!ChipSealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095195723481694050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-80461703878977426892009-08-24T08:36:25.117-05:002009-08-24T08:36:25.117-05:00Doohickie, please tell me you're joking.

I'm not sure I am happy to learn this, though it probably did little good even when driving tests WERE given.
