34.  You think the "mentally ill" shouldn't drive? that's 1 in 4 Americans
Why shouldn't she be allowed to drive? Well, before that incident of road rage, anyway. It sounds like road rage to me, and if that some so-called "normal" idiot, you wouldn't be proposing to take away driving rights from all normal morons, would you?

This society is terribly prejudiced against "mentally ill". I know a wonderful man, with Paranoid Sch. (same as the lady in the story) and he is a great driver. You want to deny people like him the right to drive to work, to the doctor's, to wherever?

I hope you have a change of heart, because 1 in 4 Americans are diagnosed with some kind of mental illness--labelling people mentally ill is big business in 'Murka.
