talk about dumb ideas. it is like that add i heard on the radio. want
to get physically challanged people job they really have no business
doing. it is all wrong. if a person does not have all the necessary
facilties to do a job safely then why push for them to be in that job.

You make an excellent point, and one I've seen in many forms from working
with the handicapped. Unfortunately, Chicago's governmental stupidity is now
national news.

My point was that we need to each watch out for this kind of idiocy in our
own states and cities. Here in Moab, handicapped parking spaces are often 5
or more spaces away from an entrance to a store. I don't have much trouble,
unless I'm having breathing problems that day, but I've seen it make
handicapped cars take spaces close to the door so the occupants could access
the building.

I read it and thought of tourist season out here . . . from the UK not
knowing which side of the road to drive on, from CA not knowing what "rules
of the road" mean to flatlanders in sheer terror if rocks jutting out over
the highway . . .well, you get the idea.

Maybe the students should apply for their learners permit since they passed the
written exam.  Can you imagine the look on the DMV testers face when they showed
up to take the road test?  Wouldn't want a discrimination law suit would they?

Greg, sometimes you think just a little too much like I do . . . . keep up
the good work, my friend.

But the real problem would be if the DMV office accepts their application .
. to avoid any resemblance of discrimination, of course.

well in GA you have to pass a vision test but its so easy only the
blind woudn't be able to read it!
Budd Cochran - 16 Mar 2006 03:58 GMT
Now that would be scary except, in CO I went to renew my license and a
gentleman in line ahead of me FLUNKED the vision test . . .He explained he
forgot his glasses and the examiner passed him.

A couple days later, I passed that limited vision gentleman driving his old
Chevy . . .with no glasses on.

but didn't you know that he had the right to drive cause he had been
doing so since korea??
Budd Cochran - 20 Mar 2006 17:25 GMT
There is no "RIGHT" to drive. It is a privilege only.

No, imho, he was not able to understand the laws any more due to age.
