Hi again everyone.
OK it seems that a few agree with a retest idea?
I am also sure that some (maybe more?) dont
I feel though that a suggestion of a 10yr retest would be a bit overdue!
As I have said before , as an instructor I have seen pupils who have passed their Tests becoming quickly adverse to the Rules & Laws they have recently been taught to obey. I can recall one guy who, obviously had needed a car to take the Test; immediately completely disregarding the speed limit and other Rules as soon as he came away!!!.
Is he dead from his actions on the road? More likely he has killed or injured some other poor bugger who was minding his/her own business. That is the Sods Law of motoring. Can these idiots be trained Quite possibly NO
Can we get together to reduce death & injury I hope so eventually
Will the Govt act on this idea? Well mates I have sent an E mail to the PMs Office some time ago giving brief outline as I did here.
I am considering sending another:
I am writing to thank you for your complete indifference to my last mail!!!!!!
What route can we folow to make people obey (at least to a tolerably level)
Maybe we need to follow the advise of the Sultan of Dubaii in the past.
When asked if his country's Laws were severe and barbaric his reply was: " we dont have a lot of crime"
This country is TOO lenient with all criminals When will a murderer get 2 weeks holiday in Bermuda and £2000 spending money????????
I have been to Court where a driver without a licence was given 3 seperate penalties where points were given. Since those added up to over 9 he couldnt have a licence. So... what would he do? Leave Court go to his car drive away and hope that it was some time before he was caught again (if ever!!??)
I am going to stop this here because I am beginning to get on my soapbox with tales of what I have seen and know as truth and I risk losing everyones' interest!!
Just a point:
I am not sure (but I believe it probably does) about this fact of RTA statistics:
In any RTA the ONLY person added to the lists who is either dead or injured is the DRIVER. Apparently front or rear seat passengers who might be THE ones dead or injured are NOT.
If we relate deaths as 3-5000 per year does that possibly mean that that figure could double or treble if passenger figures were included? and would the public be more concerned if these figures were publicly available?????
Keep the debate and the fight alive
