You would think that there could not be extremely bad drivers on the road as there is driving tests to pass to obtain license. Then all you need to do is watch one of those "worlds worst drivers" show's and how wrong that is! They have a show called that in australia, where they had a about 10 people or so, each real bad at driving and had various practical and theory tests to do each week. And the worst one at the end of the series gets the priveledge of watching their car get crushed :P One of the women on the show had a habit of knocking everything down in her way because she doesn't like to move, shopping trolley in the way? No problems, just ram it! Whilst others get really nervous and take their hands off the wheel to cover their face. I wonder how they even got a license in the first place.

Perhaps when your driving license is renewed there should be a test to do again.

Problem is there just isn't facilities to test millions of people every year when they renew their license. Even people applying for their first license sometimes have to wait months to book a test due to the huge amount of people.

Then there is the problem of wasting time and money testing drivers which are good, but they cannot know unless they test them.

Or just lower maximum speed limits. But that will piss off the good drivers, they discussed this on the radio before and had people call in. I don't want to be driving at 20km/h less just because some idiot doesn't know how to handle the car at the normal limits.

So what can you do? Public awareness programs? They have TV advirts over here which try and tell people that speed kills. I dont think any of them work though, although there is one ad on at the moment first time I've ever seen that looks real enough to get through to people.

Take a look at holiday road toll's, its amazing how many people die driving their car. And none of them expected to wake up one morning, hop in their car and find themselves dead after.

Eh, I think I've rambled on enough :P Whatever laws or programs that are enforced can never be perfect. We live in a non-perfect world.
