You have correctly interpreted my "No", Lar. "No, it does not", that was
what I should have written. Language issues... :-)
But you missed my point. The State grants the license, but the use the
driver makes of it is his responsability. His own *sense* must dictate
whether he is or not fit to drive. If not his sense, his body. If neither,
the family (hopefully). Or else we will have a potential problem - which is
less likely to occurr than drunk driving (another issue of sense and
responsability).
