Commentary on my classmate's commentary

My classmate’s blog, “Improve Texas by Regulating the Road”, has identified two solutions to improve safety. For reckless drivers, prosecution and the suspension of licenses is one way to instill safety on the roads. Another is to increase patrol to regulate and maintain security.

I am scared to obtain my driver's license not because of my driving but because I have to be three times more aware of driver who may be reckless. I do not understand how the Texas Department of Transportation became lenient on people who obtain their licenses. Moreover, how can drivers take advantage of the road with their reckless driving? As you mentioned, driving is a privilege, not a right. Having more patrol on the road would possibly increase the chances of drivers becoming more aware of the road and make them remember the safety precautions each one should consider. Although, I would feel that drivers would feel more tense if they knew more patrol is on duty. In other words, the driver will not concentrate as well either. Anyone would feel nervous around authorities, even if he or she did not do anything wrong. I would think that having more scanners and cameras would be just as useful. If the driver did something wrong, a letter should be sent and that driver will go to the court for prosecution and suspension of his or her license.
