Well, they wanted to.
Go here for the entire sordid story of Ray LaHood's predecessor, a Nanny-Stater named George Parker. He thought that you would never be able to operate a car radio without being a danger to yourself and others.
My favorite paragraph:
Two state senators were more than happy to empower Parker, according to an Associated Press report from the hearing. Senator James C. Moran offered legislation that would enlist “neighbors of an applicant” to “sign affidavits as to the driver’s moral fitness”; Senator William E. Weeks sponsored a bill that would “require a physician’s certificate for an applicant for a driver’s license.”
And that, ladies and gentlemen is why right-thinking people must always watch out for the busybodies amongst us. Vote them out.
Vote Libertarian.
