Surely though restesting drivers would cost a small fortune and put a huge strain on the Testing Centres? For that matter the majority of those tested may well pass, making it not worth while. If I took my driving test now I'm sure I would pass, how many other peeps would be the same? Taking another test would be just a formality and not cut down the loads of cars needed to make a difference. Fair enough it would weed out the dangerous drivers but I think they could be weeded out by other means.
I read an article ages ago that said most accidents where caused by people who had just past there test and under 25.

Don't worry, if such a thing ever happened I'm sure the Government would set the fees to ensure the exchequer wasn't left out of pocket.
And as for being sure you would pass ... I watched one of the old Top Gear presenters (can't remember his name - tall, balding, not Jeremy Clarkson) re-sit his test just to see what happened. He failed. I think you might be surprised how many bad habits you have picked up, or techniques you perform so well that you've forgotten they're an automatic fail on a test.
