The problem is we as humans are too busy even for our selves and to an extent that we are happy to risk our lives. So whats the answer ? We need strick enforcements.

Sadly that can be very danderous for everyone and the only way around that is by police to be vigilant and refer these drivers for a re-test. Many drivers are lazy and have ‘ can’t be bothered’.

As an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) Trainer, I regularly witness instructors giving incorrect instruction when it comes to signalling, saying things such as, "only signal to move off if there is someone to benefit" or "never signal to pass parked vehicles", "always signal when changing lanes". ADIs generally like to teach rules to keep things simple, but signalling is not a simple issue. What we need to do is to create THINKING drivers - those who question if and when a signal is necessary, rather than look to follow a set pattern. Until all ADIs follow this principle, compulsory re-testing to solve the signalling issue is futile. I have written a lengthy blog post on my website about this very subject, but I am not here to spam your blog to promote my own - I am sure people can find it for themselves if they want to read it! Keep up with the blog - I like to read views from other people in the industry! :-) Kind regards, Ged Interesting proposition, but I honestly don’t believe that compulsory re-testing will necessarily solve this problem.

Imagine bus drivers, policemen etc all losing their lisences if they failed the re test. Would cost business too much money. All we can do is train the future generations as best we can and hope for the best. Compulsory retesting would create too much havoc in the economy.
