Isn't the point of a drivers license to certify that you're qualified to drive on the road? Why isn't that enough?

- Sacho 9y agoThe drivers license makes a cost benefit analysis skewed for general use(eg driving to/from work). The usage of a taxi driver is different - perhaps it merits a different type of training and licensing.
- _jal 9y agoIf you think removing restrictions for commercial drivers is sensible, that's something to pursue at the policy level. Making exceptions is exactly the wrong thing to do - you want a level playing field. As far as "why", commercial drivers are held to different standards for a number of reasons. I'm pretty sure you can think of some if you try.
- smokeyj 9y agoAll part-time drivers have to do is out-lobby the entrenched interests? That doesn't sound like a level playing field..
