  • I’m not convinced. There’s probably a chunk of people who don’t drive because they kept showing that they weren’t safe enough to drive by failing their test. If the aim is to reduce the barrier to entry for driving because tests are expensive (they’re £62 in the UK, really not that expensive) then those costs will only be countered by way higher insurance premiums as there will be more drivers who can just jump in a car and drive on their own and crash. Also as a driver and pedestrian, I really don’t want to be on the same road as those people.


  • so the driving test proves nothing

    The driving test proves you can competently drive to a safe standard. I agree that you learn more through experience, but first you need to be able to drive to a particular standard before being allowed to drive on your own.

    What’s the alternative if there’s no test? You just allow anyone who reaches the driving age to get in a car and drive on their own?

    Trains could do it better.

    I’m honestly struggling to see how it could. I dunno what it is with people on Lemmy getting so hyper fixated on trains and thinking they’re the solution to nearly every transport solution.

    Trains are great for moving large amounts of people between big urban areas, but terrible for more point to point travel. Busses make more sense than trains in rural areas but cars will always be way more practical.
