there's a one word reason why the licensing system will never be revised to make the standard for drivers higher in this country,and that is "revunue".
if you make it harder for Mr and Mrs Joe Average to get a license,you will cut down on the number of people who are driving right?
this means less income to the industry from car sales,parts sales,repairs,and accessories.
add to this the lost govt income from a reduced number of registrations,fines,fuel excises and tolls,and we're talking likely a billion dollars a year in money the goverment won't have the use of.
parts and servicing costs would go through the roof,as the number of clients would reduce,yet the businesses would still have to try and keep the doors open to service those left.
the upside from our point of view of less potential accidents due to a higher standard of awareness,better traffic flows due to both lower numbers of vehicles,and more skilled people piloting them are trivial matters to the powers that be.
as long as we're not wiping ourselves out on a grand scale,and everyone eventually gets where they're going,that's good enough in their mind.
nothing we say will change this,as the economics of it alone cancel out any safety concerns. sad,but true.
