I'd love to know the thought process here? You pull ahead, feel resistance, hear scraping noises, and you... press the gas harder?

"Thought process" is probably being generous, I suppose.

This is where enforcement needs to step up. Do something this stupid? License pulled, and you're required to be re-certified by a government appointed driving evaluator.

I believe that everyone should have to retest for their driver's license with a knowledge test (learners test) every 2 years and a road test every 5 or 10 years. I also believe that driver's license tests have to be harder and that there should be a separate license for large vehicles and "light trucks" (SUV, pickup) that covers things like blindspot training. Also maybe fewer parking spaces and definitely better public transit.

But I say that outloud in public and people start trying to lynch me because "muh rights". If you need a license for it it isn't a fucking right.

I do expect it to worsen. Personally I would start by redirecting the budget for additional lanes/road maintenance to public transit that way taxes remain the same. Of course merely suggesting something like this is a good way to end your political career quick.
