Riders would be exempt of course as we are brilliant anyway  |
I agree but every 5 or 10 years will be better. I don't see how anybody would need a half hour medical though. as long as you can see, hear and react to hazards then a 5 min test should suffice. Over 70s should be tested more regular.
I think all new drivers should have to use a P plate for a year and be banned from vehicles over a certain power unless they take a pass plus sort of test. A bit like the bike test in having a 33bhp restriction. Also insurers should be forced to give at least a 20 percent discount to current IAM passed drivers/riders. After all they are up to 75% less likly to cause an accident so a 25% discount is still in their favour.
