I do think some form of assessment or retest would be a good idea. How it would be resourced and enforced would be another matter. DSA would go into melt-down, and many drivers would just ignore it, after all how many unlicensed drivers are on the roads? It might be one that the Insurance industry could drive forward with prohibitive premiums for older drivers unless they had their driving assessed.

Anybody done for DD or DWDC.
Anybody with an at-fault insurance claim.
Anybody registering for a blue badge.
Speeders are already offered speed awareness courses, but how about something including some driving, rather than just classroom sermonising (might be less popular with this audience )

If only that were true!
So what if it is 1%, 5%, 10% or 50% - Can we really afford the costs (politcal and financial) of a blanket re-testing scheme? I think not.
