".....since 2007...."....mere child for CDLs & doubles.
Gave back my CA Class A CDL in 1998 'cause didn't need it anymore.
Yep a mere child at 65, had to get a CDL to pull doubles in CA, I'd love to give it up as it's mainly a money grab, at 72 I'd like to keep my medical card money for diesel Hahaha.
Wish I was still a kid at 65! - Gotcha by 11 years.
Money grab: Can't imagine HDTs going down the road w/o some way of proving they (drivers) are capable.
Even then - (Example): HDT driver rear-ended SUV in Mission Viejo (on I-5) a few years ago (2007 when you got your dbls CDL), daytime / good weather. Traffic slowed, he didn't - killed 3 kids, aged 2, 4, & 5.
Driver Charged with Manslaughter
(Pos 3 year sentence = 1 year for each kids life!!)
South Dakota and "others": unless you're commercial, standard DL does it all. Although (IMO) a Non-Commercial Class A for heavier 5ths is a good idea - (many states doing same) - too many klutzes on the road!
Unless it was recently changed - the CA 25Q "Restriction 41" *test* is a joke, meaningless.
(AZ laughed = easy to understand why!)
