Yes , it is a controversial subject and we are all entitled to our point of view ,but I don't quite understand your point about ' awkward without the ability to
drive ' .
As things stand it is a fact that it IS a right and you are legally entitled to drive if you have passed the driving test and your vehicle is taxed and insured.
I have nothing against people taking some form of training to improve their skills but I am wary of this idea of ' compulsory' this or that and more government interference.
