Special license for SUVs

The Australian Parliament is considering whether to require special driver’s licenses for people with SUV’s. They’d be required to pass an off-road driving skills test. Brilliant! Maybe it’d cut down on all the clueless soccer moms in Land Cruisers yammering away on mobiles while cutting people off in rush hour traffic. Too bad such a thing would never pass in the U.S. (People here don’t believe me when I tell them how many Notre Dame students had brand new Cherokees that were only used to drive between campus and Meijer.)


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
