A Driving Licence Cull - Post your suggestions
Discussion
I think it's about time we had a mass licence cull here in the UK. Simple tiered rules if you break them you loose your licence, with the upper level of you loose it for good, have your car crushed & issued with a bus pass for life instead (I Think that's the best punishment)
If you fail to answer a highway code question correctly at the roadside after a stoppage you move up a tier of punishment.
The process will be instant & swift, with mobile car crushers waiting on standby.
Tier 1 = Licence revoked, retake test asap
Tier 2 = Licence revoked, banned for a period, retake test
Tier 3 = Licence revoked forever, car crushed, bus pass for life issued
So suggestions of offences for culling please, with the tier level I'll start
Forgetting to move to the left on an empty motorway Tier 1
Refusing to move to the left on an empty motorway Tier 2
Flashing lights in response to indication from others to move left after above Tier 3

Tier 3 - People who don't know the difference between lose and loose.
A most heinous of driving crimes. Going through a red light on/in any vehicle (unless getting out of the way of an emergency vehicle) should be an instant ban with no immediate retest allowed - probably tier 2 in your list. Accelerating at an amber light when it's perfectly safe to stop could be a tier-1.

i have no idea now, of the stopping distances. learnt them "parrot fashion" to pass my test.
since then, cars all have ABS and discs on all four wheels-------- so I suspect its less than what I was taught.
equally I'd imagine tyre technology has improved somewhat too.
am I a bad driver ???

Tier 3 - Anybody who flashes their headlights in an enraged fashion after a perfectly safe overtake
+ 1 millionand.. People that drive on B roads really slowly round bends then speed up when it straightens out and visibility is good, ie, making perfect overtaking opportunities less perfect.
and.. People that do 50mph in a NSL B road, thinking they are safe, and then continue to do 50 when it changes to 30 through a village.
and.. people who like lane 3 but don't check their mirrors for minutes at a time
and.. people that are oblivious to their wing mirrors being folded in whilst driving. GRRRR
and.. people in modern mercs who sit at a set of lights at night with just their foot on the brake. Helpfully floodlighting the interior of my car in a 'nuclear red' and burning my retina because i happen to be behind them.
Tier 3, all of them, then straight to Hell.
