Sir, – David Doran has a point about the way learner drivers are treated, but it needs to be expanded (December 31st). Newly qualified drivers need not worry – they have half a century of untested driving ahead of them if they just send in a photograph and the ever-increasing fees every 10 years.
If the Government wants people to take their eyes off the property tax and other annoyances, I suggest a driving test when applying for a licence renewal and possibly when the penalty points tally reaches six or eight. – Yours, etc,
