If you live in a city, a driver's license may not be useful to you. When self-driving cars are common, no-one will need a driver's license. It's a changing world. It will take a while.

EE--apparently you have already forgotten that earlier today you were demanding higher standards and more difficult tests to obtain a driver's license to get the incompetents and slowpokes off the roads and out of your way. In just a few hours you have changed your opinion. What is it that you really think?

those figures look suspect.
62 58. Only a four degree diurnal range?
The second is a nighttime high?
EE maybe you don't know?
-------------------------------
You support pilot standards for driving?
Couldn't work. I think you would know that.

None of that is contradictory. I support very rigorous driving standards which would then facilitate much higher speed limits or no speed limits with exclusively skilled drivers on the road. In fact why being able to maintain control of a car at 90 mph for at least 10 minutes continuously isn't a requirement on the road test is beyond me. How perfectly you can parallel park is nearly irrelevant to safety, but being able to safely drive fast in an emergency is.
Your rigorous driving standards will cause a significant number to not get a driving licence. In another post, you said nearly everyone should have a driving licence. You see how making it exceptionally difficult to get a driving licence doesn’t help with making sure almost everyone has one?

Your post above has little or nothing to do with GCC. Politics and religion notwithstanding. Sorry to inform.
P.S. -- "BS" mean exactly what you first think it might imply. Just Take a Guess At It?
These standards of yours are extremely high and people are going to have to work for a prolonged period of time to get their licence. How many people just aiming to be able to commute to and from their offices are going to consider this worth their effort? If I were one such person, I’d switch to public transport or take a cab. And how many people taking and passing the test are going to retain the information? Making things hard to get isn’t the point of the test, it’s to effectively assess whether you’re a safe driver who won’t be a danger to others and won’t be disruptive. Also, immediately after saying nearly everyone should have a licence, you said they’re the easiest things to get ever, which wouldn’t be the case after these changes.
PS: I noticed you’ve hiked the passing score from ninety percent to ninety-five percent.
Less licences would certainly mean less traffic, but they’d also mean not everyone has a driving licence, contradicting one of your earlier statements. And I’m not sure you need the best of the best in this scenario…
By the way, I’m pretty sure people will have at least a strong aversion towards studying all those topics to be able to commute, so a non-trivial reduction in the number of licences is basically guaranteed.

You are free to check Brooklyns weather forecast yourself, good grief man!
Translation: EE you don't know whether the second column is lows or highs for the night.
Why would I check it if you don't know?
Brooklyn? I thought you were further out on the island.
--------------------------
And AG just pointed out your illogic about licenses for more people but with pilot standards.
EE do you believe a tenth of the stuff you throw?
But at least its 'activity'.
For now you're grousing about 'nippy in May' but when the heat waves come - what will your line be?
That your're purposely running and revving your engine while parked while complaining you needed radiator repairs?
Or that you 'once more' understand manmade climate change? Or that you don't?
Hey - as I've said before - I don't want to put you down. Not my intention.
But you seem to want to do it to yourself?
To get attention? To make things personal? More interesting that way?
-----------------
By the way - congratulations on getting that Student Pilot License.
19 lessons?
But apparently its just a hunk of plastic until your instructor signs it.
But 19 lessons is about par apparently.
But I don't claim to know - just an impression I got after asking on the net just now.
And again - congrats.

Barely 1 month left until "summer" and temps are still dipping close to the 40s at night smh.
What's your point? You can clearly see temperatures getting close to 100 degrees today and tomorrow.

Do you have air conditioning?

I'm sitting in my apartment right now and it doesn't feel like 90s, feels like 80-83, maybe those numbers are glitchy/scam data points cause they want to start sneaking in some extra 90+ days early knowing their predictions for a record amount of them won't end up happening. Padding their stats early to compensate for their major blowing of their doomsday predictions just like the hurricane season hype lol!
Another baseless conspiracy off of nothing? I'm sorry I asked.

15°C is 59°F.
Everyone in this thread is gonna take up a collection to get E.E. a new Barbie vehicle. 
Self-driving cars are like the definition of laziness. People aren't even willing to hit pedals and turn a wheel or maintain a lane manually anymore smh. I mean it's literally in the name - Drivers License. And they don't want to do the driving..
robots are safer than humans but… driving is nice
