Compulsory re-testing for over 65's

Something everyone is ignoring is cost, I could barely afford to learn to drive when it was £20 a lesson, and I got 11 for the price of 10. Skid pan training? Extended lessons? Minimum tuition hours? I wouldn't be driving now if that were the case.

The wonder of the Scandinavian countries is that they have wonderful socialism, so shit gets subsidised, good luck generating enough taxes to cover that in this country!

Yeah but consider the amount spent by the Government on Police & the NHS in dealing with RTCs, and how much it could be cut with additional tuition, and ultimately rooting out the people who just can't drive... I'd almost go as far as to suggest they'd have change from it after subsidising the additional tuition... Might even be able to put that towards seeing to the hideous state of the roads these days...
