    They should make everyone that drives a vehicle pass a physical. Tired of getting cut off and almost run off the road by people that can't SEE or need to get to the next exit because they have diabetes and are fixing to pass out behind the wheel of their car because they need a pack of crackers.

    Safety on the highway is a two way street, freaking idiots!

    You would be surprised at the number of vehicle accidents that are diabetic related. Alot are cardiac as well.

    That is so true. Everybody is up in arms about DUI. And they should be. But nobody talks about accidents caused by medical problems.

    And then of course there is the mental/medical condition of driving with anal/cranium inversion...

    I was at a 4 way stop today. I saw a vehicle coming to a stop on the right. I had started rolling. The driver never looked at my direction and when I was in the middle of the road, he started to roll. I moved to the left and he missed me. I was thankful I did not have a trailer on at the time.

    I got physical yesterday. Got 2 years no problem. But they did seem to be more thorough than before. BP was 119 over 80. Told me to watch it. WTF! I made them take it again after I took about 2 minutes to breath deeply and slow breathing down. went down to 110 over 75. Lady Dr wanted to know how I did that. Told her to go bone up on relaxation techniques and quit pushing drugs on everyone. lol Don't think she like being examined.

    Read the comments after the article . Theres 2 from me because after I made the first one I had to register . Then I couldnt find the original so I did another . Somebody else should add to it . These reports never give the true story .

    Ain't that the truth, but you know what? Driving is a right. Yes it is!!!
    Imagine what the 'masses' would do if a large percentage of them were
    denied a license to kill... ....I'm sorry... drive. REVOLT! In addition,
    the States must have every tax dollar they can siphon out of us, and
    you're about to type back and tell me that driving is a priviledge!!!:biggrin_25517:
