Very true, people do get lazy, but are extra compulsory tests the way forward? Some people simply train for tests then throw what they have learnt out of the window, other will still allow bad habits to develop after passing or even repassing.

Would compulsory training after a driving test reduce the likelihood of people having accidents on the road? A boy racer will still feel invincible after he had passed both the normal driving test and the Pass Plus, possibly even more invincible and take greater risks.

Emphasis on driving being a continually learning experience and cheaper access to voluntary scheme such as the Pass Plus and the school of Advanced Motorists training and Assessment schemes may produce better results.
