How not to drive a motorhome

Sounds to me like a whole bunch of you all that are dead set against mandatory licensing and skill testing probably cannot pass anyway.

Like a Motorcycle endorsement. To get one (at least in this state) you have to demonstrate to a state certified examiner, that you have the skills to handle a motorcycle...or you don't get the endorsement. I have that as well.

Apply that to RV's as well. Again, no issue with me, I'm already there but obviously a lot of folks aren't.

All I'm saying is, I see mandatory licensing coming in the future. Don't kid yourself, the NHTSA is always monitoring incidents with RV's. They get paid to do that.... with your tax dollars of course.

There are more and more RV's on the roadways today than ever before and more incidents than ever before and if big brother can get involved, they will.

We could go on forever discussing the pro's and con's of licensing but in reality, it's not up to you, it's up to the government if and when they implement that, and when they do, you will either comply or be done driving your RV.

When it happens and I'd be willing to bet it will...

Pretty black and white to me.

Black, and white ?????? Hopefully I get this right, you want mandatory licensing for RV's ?

Let me ask how this mandatory licensing is going to fix stupid. I can be the best driver on the road, pass all the tests, and still do what that class A was doing.

I agree, there probably should be some requirements to drive these large RV's, not just let anyone behind the wheel of an RV. But NOTHING is going to stop the behavior that we got to see.

We have mandatory licensing to drive automobiles, and you can see every day how that is working out, we have idiots on the road that passed the tests. Test all you want, nothing fixes stupid once they hit the road.
