I think a mandatory retest at 5 years would be a good idea as long as it is a lot harder.
then you would be on a provisional pass for your 1st 5 years.
they also needs to include compulsory motorway lessons and possibly a test and I think basic car care should be included. I am not talking a mechanics course but just a basic – how do you check the fluids, how do you do a visual check of tyres, what should you do if this noise/shake etc happens – basically getting people to realise that if something is wrong it could be serious and they need to go to a garage.
We also need to get out of the mentality that driving is a ‘right’ and you need to prove you are responsibly and skilled enough. The standard of driving these days is shocking.
Oh and people who use phones when driving really pi$$ me off!
