re: Should they require people to take driving tests every few years?

Yes, and better vehicle inspections, like a MOT in the UK. People are driving cars that have no business being on the road. Then you have baws in their lifted trucks with aftermarket headlights blinding people.

Here in TN they are doing away with emissions testing. It wastes more fuel and causes more emissions because people wait in line for 30 minutes just to have their car's computer system scanned for error codes. They don't even test for emissions on modern cars.

Abso

fricking

The worst thing here in metro Atlanta is people having no idea how to navigate a roundabout.

Yes

Yes, and every year for old people too.

The only drivers that should take driving tests are the unvaccinated.

YES, but passing a test isn’t going to make them adhere to the rules of the road. They’re just going to do what they want anyway. I used to think it was pure ignorance, but now I’m convinced it’s laziness, and in doing what they want regardless of who they put out to get what they want.

For instance, tying up a lane of traffic behind them because they forgot to get into the turning lane is not ignorance. It’s a failure to give a shite about anyone else on planet earth. A very similar thing can be said for the mass confusion at down red lights. They know. They just don’t care. If it benefits them, then screw everybody else. That’s the mentality you’re dealing with here, and why it’s bigger than just not knowing any better. It’s not caring.

People over 65 yes

Sure. Everybody's got time for that.

If you have time to renew your license, you have to retake the driving test.

You’re not supposed to follow the car to your right. It’s a 4-way stop. Its whoever was there first

Ugh.

Legally you're supposed to yield to the person to your left. However, practically, for the sake of moving traffic, the two cars opposite of one another should pass each other in succession only yielding if one of them has to turn. In other words, the East and West facing cars go. Then the north and south facing cars go and so on. This is assuming traffic is backed up in all four directions and there's multiple cars waiting in line. Otherwise it's first come first serve, as you said. From a legal perspective, there's never been a good way to legislate a four-way stop. It's part of the reason why Traffic Engineers are going to roundabouts everywhere.
