For seniors only? There are people in the entire population who have physical and cognitive conditions which I understand are required to be reported by their doctors to the motor vehicle branch and need to be adjudicated administratively rather than medically.

I am just dealing with that with my 88 year old mother who just got a license renewed. She had two different opinions on whether she meets the peripheral vision test.

So we are battling against getting the ethnic vote out on the one hand and how insensitively that appears to have been handled, while we have this MLA talking about seniors which sounds to me like they are being picked on.

We really do have things to learn!!!!!!

Yeah, if people were a little less sensitive and toned down the faux-outrage at every little thing, the world would indeed be a better place.

Im battling with my medical clinch as to why the medical examination fee went from $120.00 to 180.00 within two years. Please look into that for me Bob.

Looking at general driving skills of everyone over all, I think a retest every five years would a good idea.

And a retest would do what? I do not believe it would change a thing.

Take drivers through a merge lane intersection and I bet close to 1 out of 3 should fail both by the driver in the lane being merged from as well as a driver in the lane being merged into.

Then there are a few spots in town which have yield signs even though the lane on the street being turned onto starts at that intersection and it is impossible for anyone else to be in it.

Then there are stop streets, which is an issue all to itself, as are slow drivers in the left lane.

We pay taxes for services, and then the Government makes it difficult if not impossible to access the services, all under the guise of saving money.

This of course is absolute BS. This bloody liberal Government does not have a clue how to save money. In fact they have basically bankrupted the Province.

We pay for the services and we bloody well better get them.

Pr George is a prime example. We are overtaxed for all sorts of services, and we don’t get the service. The City, Province, and Feds, find all sorts of ways to skirt their responsibility and then spend money on what can only be described at ***stupid projects**

Good for Quesnel. They need to kick the Government in the ass. We paid for the service NOW PROVIDE THE SERVICE. Whats so difficult about that.

Where on the tax bill does it say what specific service is paid for? My tax return does not tell me that.

In this case the so-called sipid name of “DriveABLE” test centre has nothing to do with ICBC, but has to do with the Ministry responsible for transportation.

Seems they have farmed this out to a private service provider which likely is set up to cost recover 100% of its operation. At least, that is whatit looks like.

I do not recall such centres being around a decade ago.

The principle is, add a service and it will be a user pay service, not one added to the tax load. Only double the COL is added to the tax load to take care of traditional services.

I thought driveable test centres were mobile test centres which could move to the hinterlands of the hinterlands … like a bookmobile …… ;-)

Most of the spots in town have yeild signs there are only a few merge lanes in the city and I can count them all on one hand. They are at SOME of the highway intersections

And I would restrict my complaints to the traffic signals that are not properly setup. One can wait at a red light with no traffic on the green function. When the traffic starts to stragle the green should cut off. But when you have a bunch of hill billies setting up our traffic signals what copuld one expect,
