So, we should expect to see toll booths going up on every road into the county during the race so those who drive in can help pay? I mean, no one HAS to drive into the county during those dates either, if they don't want to help pay the bill even though they aren't going to the race, right?

I'm always dubious of "solutions" that result in a windfall for the people proposing the solution.

Could be, but I'm not aware of any authority imbued in medical personnel to hold someone against their will during voluntary treatment. I have to believe someone would have thought of a solution to such a situation beforehand. I suspect they would have to revert to an involuntary commitment...

Not sure how they would keep him there against his will if he wasn't there by court order. Hell, drug and alcohol treatment centers turn away those under the influence.

Doesn't seem to have produced stellar results in this instance.

Much as Tom Hanks in "Sully" insisted his incident be referred to as a forced water landing rather than a crash, I would describe those as tree top landings.

How do you know it was the first try, and if he is intentionally driving badly and acting impaired what is it telling us?

I believe he was cleared after the blood results came back. You are right about the roadside tests. If you are in fact impaired you are probably already done by the time the officer asks you to perform the tests. The only variable, at least in my state, is whether you lose your license for 30...

It takes a lot of money to be able to fly and have to worry about making that mistake. Can't be terribly common.

Quite a change from my day, and it wasn't THAT long ago. The only people I was ever aware of getting a VA rating were nearly crippled and chaptered out for medical. No one solicited us about disability at out processing, either.

Am I reading the article correctly that the VA disclosed personal medical information to the FAA?

As I understand it, VA benefits hinge on whether or not you are returned the same as they found you, not your ability to work.

I watched that video the other day and was left in stunned surprise the plane wouldn't do what the manual said it would do. Now, please bear in mind I have yet to take my first lesson and have no experience piloting an airplane when I ask these questions. Performance is degraded by the age of...

We'd be in a pretty sorry state if all infrastructure had to pay for itself.

Your approach to the situation lacks panache.

When did we grow to hate men of action? Must've been a Navy guy.

Shoulda bought American.

Especially if those ratings impart an increased level of knowledge and ability that justify a higher standard.

Let's try to keep the goalposts in one place. A doctor is only going to determine if you have a condition that makes you likely to flip out or fall out; they aren't assessing any skill level whatsoever.

How much skill is evaluated during a medical exam?
