What's the problem? In Texas we offer hunting licences to folks from out of state.
The system could work. It could be funded through the DPS (Texas don't know about the rest of you), and it could make the roads safer, by allowing for a standardization of laws. Unless I missed something, this seems to be the same old, "I'm a super pedestrian, I don't need a license" argument, when in reality, you're a light vehicle, using the roads built and maintained by the government for the purposes of commerce, and therefore taxation. People in Ultralight planes aren't super jumping. Morons.
I've had a long morning, someone please tell me I read it wrong, and it's more than the "Cyclists need licenses!" "Nuh huh!" Argument.
