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.
Why is it when people are coming up with these great ideas for road safety they never hit on the idea of restricting all road vehicles engines to a maximum of 70mph I wonder? Because it would affect everyone including those making the rules perhaps? There's a good case for it being the national maximum is 70. Yeh, I think that's a great idea too, perhaps you could have your vehicle governed while you sat your compulsory re-education?

And the subjects compelled to take them regardless of an exemplary driving record? You guys kill me.
