Not sure if this sits well for you, but in Ontario the G1, G2 and then full G class driver test are provided in 17 different languages. Thinking about our two official languages of French and English would have been assumed to be offered. But why does our government offer more than just the two official ones?
While driving or even operating a car do you not think that being able to read and understand English or French wold be critical to operation of said car? Do you not read traffic signs and street names in English or French. How are you navigating? Most people can't navigate a route to a new place if their life depended upon it... I don't have to site examples of this... Or do I?
I really think that any distraction while you are driving is a very dangerous thing indeed. People we really need to focus on what is going on around you while you are piloting that car.
This is why I believe that people should be retested every five years to keep their driver's licence. We as professional drivers are tested every five years with a written test. And each time we change companies we are tested on the road. We can be tested by the MTO officer who pulls us over etc.
I know that its too bad that us trucks and you have to share the road, but its the only way for you to get that thing you just went to the mall to get. Hey without trucks you would have to go to the train station to get your food or even that new cell phone you are using.But I am not getting into that.
All drivers should be tested every five years... yes write the test and then drive the test. So much has changed even in two years let along five years. The government needs to keep on educating you the driver on all the new and updated laws and even the traffic signs.
Would you pass the test?
