[quote author=Rusty link=topic=4835.msg41446#msg41446 date=1349170627]Why retest someone that has never had an accident?
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.

Lol, What makes you think that .!! It would solve half the unemployment problem !! It would keep people up to date with the highway code, and changes to driving laws, even with exemplary driving record, you are never to old or wise to learn!
