Plenty of reckless motorists out there, and over-75 drivers say don’t put it all on us: Roadshow

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:24:10 GMT

Q: I would volunteer for the over-75 driving test. November marks 60 years with my drivers license without ever hitting someone. On the way to our 53rd wedding anniversary dinner recently, I avoided a young guy doing donuts on his bike in the middle of the road. I helped stop traffic in both directions until he tired of his insane stunt.Dana Charles, San JoseA: A reader suggested that drivers 75 and older be required to take a driving test when renewing their driver’s license. Dana was the only person to agree. Others thought driving tests would be misplaced if focused on older drivers, as they feel the most dangerous drivers are reckless drivers of any age.Q: Have you noticed the new patches on Highway 4 leading up the hill toward Bay Point, just before the Willow Pass exit? The patches are worse than the holes!!! Do they plan to smooth these out?Jennifer WalligA: Caltrans has just started a new project to rehab this stretch of highway.

Read more Letters to the Editor.4-year track shouldn’tdiscourage studentsRe: “Still not enough of CSU students finish in 4 years” (Page A6, June 22).While seemingly beneficial, a program that provides incentives for students to graduate in four years from California State Universities primarily benefits students who come from “better” high schools and have better financial support from home. Coincidentally, such are the very areas that state Sen. Steve Glazier represents.There can be great life-long rewards from graduating from a state university, even though it takes longer than four years to do so. Many young people are simply not ready or able to complete that task in four years, which, for most, would require working part-time, plus taking some summer school courses.Don’t be fooled by incentives to reward students who are best-prepared and able to complete four-year college degrees … at the expense of others.Georg...

How a year without Roe shifted American views on abortion

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:24:10 GMT

For decades, Americans had settled around an uneasy truce on abortion. Even if most people weren’t happy with the status quo, public opinion about the legality and morality of abortion remained relatively static. But the Supreme Court’s decision last summer overturning Roe v. Wade set off a seismic change, in one swoop striking down a federal right to abortion that had existed for 50 years, long enough that women of reproductive age had never lived in a world without it. As the decision triggered state bans and animated voters in the midterms, it shook complacency and forced many people to reconsider their positions.In the year since, polling shows that what had been considered stable ground has begun to shift: For the first time, a majority of Americans say abortion is “morally acceptable.” A majority now believes abortion laws are too strict. They are significantly more likely to identify, in the language of polls, as “pro-choice” over “pro-life,” for the first time in two decades...
