No! - You know it by them not having accidents.
How do you know if people dont need a test? They would have to take one to find out right !!!![]()
Isn't it odd that few appear to mind imposing compulsory this or that on others in the name of 'safety', yet no one wants to own a vehicle that is capable of no more than the national speed limit? Remember kiddies - Speed kills!![]()
Hmmmm.... you're never too experienced to learn from someone with less experience eh? That's one from the 'Let's teach father how to fuck' school of thinking there Tex. To keep up with the highway code you only need to read one.I can understand medicals or eyesight tests but not what's being suggested. Are you up for the governed 70mph maximum on all vehicles idea too? I bet I can make a better case for that than you can for testing people who don't need it.
Why retest someone that has never had an accident?Because when someone is in control of a couple of tonnes of metal moving at 70mph or more, it's nice to know that their skills are up to date!
That's just intrusive, more nanny state ideas we could do without. Target and educate those that need it, and leave alone those whose records show they don't. Were there anything wrong with their skills they'd be highlighted by points on their license or the accident records of insurers.'Compulsory?' <shudder> You don't happen to be a driving instructor by any chance?
I think it would be good to have compulsory10 lessons and a assesment every 5 years,Would all these lessons be FOC then? And the subjects compelled to take them regardless of an exemplary driving record? You guys kill me.
