What the petition asks
We currently don't have general regular assessments for people after they pass their driving test but we believe they should have to sit an assessment every 5 years to keep up-to-date with their skills.
We believe driving has got so bad nowadays that people think it's acceptable to go over speed limits, overtake in dangerous areas and just basically take too many risks. As a driving instructor I see so many people taking risks and I have been hit 5 times over the past 4 years. We believe that having an assessment every 5 years will help drivers to keep up-to-date with all the road rules and to become better and more confident.
