Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.  And, develop FIVE factual, interpretive, and evaluative questions for further exploration of the topic(s).

Personally, I have pretty bad eye-sight. I can see peoples faces and I know who they are, but I cannot read anything from a distance! Eyesight changes as you get older so why would you take that out of the DMV test? since I don't drive and haven't gotten my license yet, I think the most important part of renewing your license is to check your eyesight!  "The state has apparently decided to put the policy on hold" probably because of all the reactions and the use of common sense kicks in. Connecting that drivers can "simply affirm on a form that their vision is good enough to drive without glasses, or that they need corrective lenses" and that most people try to "deny our imperfections" most drivers will not be honest just to show that they don't need glasses to drive or that they have "perfect" vision. I believe this is only in for money because "millions of dollars are at stake" and New York needs to increase their profits and boost their economy.

1. Has the number of car crashes in the states that removed the eye test gone up?
2. are we only in this because of our bad economy?
3. if a person has glasses, how could you force them to wear them when driving?
4. what states also removed the eye test? have they gained more money then before?
5. how is it a criminal penalty for lying about your eyesight?
