More driver education and training classes would help

I do believe that Fresno is ranked 15th in the nation for bad drivers. Too many are still texting and driving, and too many are still drinking and driving.

Most of the blame is that Fresno Unified School District doesn’t offer driver education and driver training classes anymore. Kids nowadays just wait until they are 18 years old, go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and get their licenses without learning the rules for driving.
