8. Every 5 years, everyone should have to take a simulated driving test . . .

all ages, no exceptions.

As realistic as computer simulators are these days, it'd be easy to create a program that would test our knowledge of the road, as well as our reflex times and our ability to react to hazardous situations and conditions.

And this should be for everyone, across the board.

My 30-year-old niece has absolutely no business whatsoever being behind a wheel of a car. She has neither the mental or emotional maturity to handle driving, especially in traffic or at speed.

And should you fail on the simulator, then you'd need to be evaluated in your car by a human.
