The trouble with all these ideas being put forward, for consideration on how to make us safer drivers by altering the driving tests, is that they assumes that only the people eventually deemed suitable to have a licence to drive will get behind the wheel of a car.

My family and friends have had the misfortune to be the innocent victims involved in 4 separate accidents in as many years. In the first accident the driver responsible had only got a provisional licence and was on his own in the car and in 2 others the drivers hadn't even bothered to get a provisional licence. Only the drunk had a licence but at least he was insured.

No matter what changes to the driving test were made at least 3 of these accidents would still have taken place.
