I think a 15 minute competency test every 5 years after 75 is probably a fairer idea, it’s easy enough to tell if someone is competent without putting them through a formal check.

It’s also a good way of checking someone’s eyesight and to pick up if someone is showing signs of being vague and confused with the obvious worries that dementia might be taking hold.

I do wonder how many of the idiot lowlife
on our roads manage to pass the theory test?

It beggars belief that many of these people could pass such a test.
Spot on. Doesn’t need a full test. Just competency.
