BTW, if it was a member of your family that was killed by a under qualified driver in a fast car, you'd feel different (i havent btw)
I don't agree with the 33bhp license as it is currently used.

But, there's no such thing as under-qualified. Why should an individuals actions make me change my mind about the system? Sure I'd want the individual stringing up by the knackers but it wouldn't be the systems fault.
That attitude is the "won't somebody please think of the children" whinging "it's all the systems fault" set of ideals which are an endemic rot on society. You wish to remove free will and choice and replace it with an even more invasive system of government.

To take this to an extreme example of why people who've been involved in these issues shouldn't be allowed near the law because they go all "helen lovejoy" about it is that lass whose daughter was murdered by some nutter. So they managed to ban extreme pornos based on this lasses misguided "logic".
