With the huge amount of traffic accidents, should it be mandatory to take a driving exam when renewing your license? Not the driving exam taken to get the license, but a new test geared towards maintaining safe drivers.

No.
The cost is not worth the benefit. Right now, in most states, license renewal is required every 3-5 years. With the current DMV facilities, it usually takes about an hour or more of a persons time to renew their license. (50 minutes waiting, 10 minutes actually doing something)
If you add a driving test every four years, you would need to spend the whole day there, and tax dollars would have to be spent to add people to give the test. The physical DMV offices would also have to be increased in size.
Most states have a point system that will cause the worst drivers to lose their licenses. Good drivers should not be penalized by requiring them to take tests!

Oh yes. Especially to women and old drivers. I'm a woman btw, but I cannot stand their indecisivness. I nearly had an accident with a broad that didn't see me go in front of here AT A SAFE DISTANCE. I was even honked...
What should also happen, is for the US to require defensive driving while learning how to drive aka how to drive on snow, ice, during a torrent, wild manuvering, handling of the car when you're out of control... The majority of states do not require this. I know Ohio does.

I think it should be mandatory after the age of 60. I don't want to pick on older folks but there are alot of old people out there driving that have no business being on the road. It's going to continue getting worse with the ageing of America.

Yes, people suck at driving so bad it blows my mind. It is one of the simplest things on earth and yet people get all freaked out and slam on their brakes all the time for no reason.

No because the DMV's are already crowded enough.
