They are not illegal drivers, they are undocumented drivers.

Nothing new. Sure there is thousands in every state. In my honest opinion we treat driving to lightly in this country. Sure law says it is a privilege, but state after state treats more of a right than privilege. DUI laws, the act of getting a license, and keeping a license are too light. All you need practicality is just $20 and drive around the block. That is it. No need to actually demonstrate you can, and know how to properly drive. I could write a book, but I am going stop here. Plain and simple to me the laws need to be tougher, and the standards higher.

I'm old school and was raised to believe driving is a privilege that can be taken away if abused not a right and as such have let that mindset tailor my driving traits and habits.

Today the entitlement mentality that is so pervasive has given the mindset that everyone has the right to drive and that this right can not be taken away from you regardless of how unsafe you are on the roads or your legal status.

Heck the way my driving test was they should of just handed it to me. Never exceeded 25mph or even entered the main road. Just drove around a residential neighborhood. Explains why drivers around here are so terrible.

My driving test was

1. Pull out of the parking lot at the DMV office
2. Drive down the service road next to the DMV office
3. Stop.  Turn right, go back to the DMV office and park.

None of it was on a public road and it took all of 5 minutes.

I lived about 5 blocks from the DMV office and we often saw drivers getting tested on our street.  The main reason for this was we were on a quiet residential, fairly narrow street and the examiners would require the tester to execute a 3 point turn.  It was humorous to watch this at times when the tester would run over the curb or not be able to properly execute the turn.  Another thing we had on our street that made it desirable to the examiners was a blind intersection where an alley crossed the street.  If you exceeded a speed of 15 MPH thru this blind intersection you immediately failed.  My sister failed on her first driver's test because of this but prepared me for when I tested 2 years later,  but that was back in the mid '70's.  I'm not sure if they take the time to do that now.

Our high school Driver's Ed course was more difficult than the driving exam at the DMV.  Besides the normal driving through town, we had to parallel park, and pull into and back out of parking spaces between cars.  The parking stuff was done in the school parking lot, though. The DMV only requires driving a few blocks, making a few turns and lane changes.
