 	Total agreement. Testing every year, and a much harder test. There 
are so many people that should NOT be on the road in any vehicle. Let them 
cry about not being able to get to work for a whole year.

 	Also, please use a muffler on your cycle. Nothing says "I'm an big 
dumb asshole" like driving a bike without a muffler. Of course, I'm a 
SoSider, so I extremely hate it when people come from the suburbs, sit in 
front of my house and generate ungodly ammounts of noise for no purpose.
