[Filed under News you will not see in Maryland]
***************************************************
 Require more from all users of the roadway network by setting tougher requirements for licensees.   Broaden Driver’s Education to cover “mobility” education (bus, bike, pedestrian, and car), increase the number of questions that include pedestrians, and add reviewing criteria for driver’s license renewal to incorporate more than just vision and signage tests.
 Include bicycling information on driver’s licensing exam, distribute cycling laws with new bicycles at points of sale, and develop web resources which are easy to understand for cyclists/motorists.  
 Incorporate bicycle and pedestrian skills into driver education and license renewal.
 Develop bicycle training course which helps a student earn points toward a driver’s license.
 Include messages in drivers’ education about the dangers of distracted driving and how to interact safely with bicyclists/pedestrians.
