Compulsory re-testing for over 65's

[Niall]

actually for once, i agree with dum dum. Driving is a privilege and the biggest problem with this country at the moment is this mindset of thinking everyone deserves everything (Uni paid for by the government springs to mind here!)
If you are fortunate enough to be able to afford driving and be intelligent enough (be able to pass the tests), fine...you can drive but just because youve turned 17, doesnt automatically mean you have to be allowed to drive!
I do also think you should be limited on the car you can drive before your 21 (like on a bike). I know you are kinda limited by insurance but i know several people who had rich daddies who were driving things like cooper s works and 335coupes etc when they were 17. Sensible? not in the slightest!
as it is theres too many people on the roads in this country and we need to get rid of this mentality of everyone should be able to drive everywhere. Parents should not be allowed to drive their kids to school in their land rovers 'just because its raining'......its just turning into a nanny state!
