We can and should be allowed to drive faster on our freeways and motorways; but don’t think governments will let it happen overnight.

    Agree. We don’t even teach them to drive at night.

      And we never retest anyone.

      You were able to do a reverse park once? Cool, you are now allowed to dive for the rest of your life.

      Every person should be retested every 5 years.

        They couldn’t possibly do that in WA. There’s about a six month wait now to book a driving test. That’s just for new drivers.

          But that would require a huge state gov investment in training infrastructure and that will never happen.

        For learners required to log hours this is also true in Vic and NSW, but there is an age cut off (21 and 25) for this requirement.
