There should be a limit to the number of tests you can take. Something like 5 strikes and thats it your not capable of driving get a bus pass.
It would keep people like this off the road. I wouldnt like to be on the same road she is on.
I dont think a # strikes and your out policy is right. There are a lot of people who as youngsters are rubbish at paying attention and not acting like a twunt. However when they get to their 30's and are more sencible etc should they be denied a chance to pass a driving test?
I'd much prefer to see driving tests every 10 years. That way you would have to pass say 7 tests in your lifetime hardly a massize overhead on people but should get a lot of bad drivers off the road.

It should get a lot of bad drivers off the road, but would it really? There must be a worrying number of unlicensed and uninsured nutters out there.

Fine if they fail their test a couple of times at 17 because they cant pay attention, perhaps it would be wise for them to avoid the road until they are more sensible thus saving their three remaining strikes until they have grown up a bit.

Personally I'd modify the pass/fail test result to
Pass - rip up those L plates
No Pass - not good enough yet but shows some promise, try again
Fail, no really Fail - you'll never be good enough while you've got a hole in your a**e - here's an application form for a bus pass.

Are you sure she didn't give up on the car test do a bike test and get a Gixer 1000
Maybe she'd have been better spending the money on cabs or her own personal chauffer .......and I think I'll be giving Cowley a wide berth. I wonder if her Insurance will be expensive ?
