I agree with much of what has been written in this thread, from both sides, but I agree with this most of all:

It's far too easy to get and keep a driver's license. I've had one driver's test in my life, when I was 16 years old. Isn't it time for a refresher course and a new test? I can't see why this isn't done every 10 or 12 years.
