Stuck behind a car driver on the M6 a little while ago got me thinking. ADR License’s, Forklift License’s to name a couple, all need a refresher course after 5 years.
 So why don’t driving license’s? Â
The standard of driving for an average car driver is abysmal, so a refresher course would hopefully have a positive effect, in that it improves someone’s driving or are taken off the road altogether.
We have the DCPC to try and make us better drivers, so let’s give car drivers a refresher course.
PS- I may have spent too much time stuck in traffic and thought of this out of boredom!!
I wouldnt say i’d be happy about it, but i’d pay for it in the same way I would pay for the DCPC, begrudgingly but needs must.
To be fair by doing the DCPC which is a recognized “qualification” it may give us a free pass thru a refresher course
As I said it was just an idea to raise car driving standards

The problem is -there are far more car drivers than lorry drivers so would be tough and expensive to administer, …and it would be political suicide…people would hate it and would not be keen to vote for a government that brought it in…
I agree we need it, but I can’t see it happening TBH. People would say it was ‘another tax on the motorist’…

The people that moan about other peoples driving are normally fairly sub-standard themselfs… But i assume you rate your own driving very highly?
