Thing is mooks, there is a minimum standard, set by the driving tests, that is in reality a fairly decent standard. The problem doesn't lie in the qualification but in what would seem to be the inevitable decline in standards shortly after obtaining that qualification.
What we need is a more draconian response to infractions of the law and good driving practice with a scaled approach to penalties. Minor infractions will allow the driver to choose between points or not driving for a week, far greater penalties should exist with the introduction of a lifetime driving ban. Driving has always been a priviledge, not a right and the legal system needs to start treating it as such.
