I wouldn't be in favour of that. If I took my test now, I've been driving since
00:03
1981, I'd probably fail now because I've got into one-handed steering wheel stuff, you know,
00:09
casual driving, arm out the window, you know, this kind of thing on a warm day.
00:13
I probably would fail, so I wouldn't go along with that, no.
00:17
Well, I mean, I learned later in life, so I passed at 30 and I see some of the poor driving behaviour
00:24
even around here, so I think it's good and things do change as well. The rules of the world do
00:29
change and I think people forget and get into bad habits, so I think it'd be a really good
00:34
idea to do it on a regular basis. You see people do this in their professional life,
00:38
they have to keep up with the latest things. You're on the road in charge of a tank,
00:43
aren't you? So I think it's a really good idea. I think it would be, yeah, because I think a lot
00:48
of people, I think a lot of people, I suspect myself, probably would fail, probably would
00:53
fail the test because the tests have become more stringent.
