I do agree with the restricted licence, it allows you a chance to mature as a rider more safely. Making it a time period allows time for you to mature as a person.

The thing about 2 years vs X miles is that X miles is generally considered a closer approximation to experience than 2 years (it's more closely related, if you like).
I guess I'm assuming there is that experience = maturity which may not be correct.
Also the comments on "what's to stop..." for the first two options is a little more different than it sounds - one is legal and one (would presumably be) illegal.
Perhaps the one thing we are lacking here is a very clear definition on what we are trying to achieve with a restricted licence? It sounds simple but defining it isn't quite that easy I think...
