Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Require Driving School? Yes or No?

[Red5hilser (Red5hilser]

At the academy, we were given a weekend of advanced training to  pass a basic 
driving skill test. Then an extra day, or as needed, to learn  the fine art 
of parallel parking. The theory was, how can the citizens respect  you as a 
symbol of authority and guidance if you can't even smartly park your  police 
unit?

Thanks  F.G.,

I'm one for LESS government and LESS requirements,  not more.  I do think 
Phil hit on an interesting twist.  Make  licenses gradational with more 
privileges earned with more proved competence,  then add re-testing to allow 
improvement in qualification OR downgrading when  performance degrades.

Of course, have you ever seen officials (police)  drive?  I doubt that any of 
them could instruct such a  plan...
