Testing drivers

My suggestion to improve traffic in Miami is to require periodic re-testing of all drivers.

Start with just a written exam. If the driver does not meet a minimum score, then perhaps a road test with an examiner would be in order. License renewal could depend on it.

At the very least, if some study for the written exam, they just might be reminded what turn signals are for and how to determine the right of way.
