Forced licence progression

[Zedder]

They don'/wont ask that question. They just ask ... When can I sit the test. As I want my license NOW.

Stupid boy Pike, the teenagers would be asked the hypothetical question, it's not the teenagers asking the question.

If the goal is safe drivers, safe roads and safe vehicles,

pretty big if there.. there's no money in it.

if it saves lives and heartbreak for families and loved ones plus all other downstream effects

another big if. is there any proof or even suggestion?) that driver or vehicle licensing has made teh road a safer place to do stuff?

(yay visual puns)

Personally I don't care if the rate is 90 percent if they are getting failed for legitimate reasons,

I'm getting old, I want a system in place,

yeah. that'd be fine by me.
IF having a license of any variety would guarantee that the holder wasn't a fucking muppet.
... judging by the "driver"s i see on the road - it isn't.

as for a system: how about a bunch of disgruntled old pricks get to drive tanks around to sort out those young hooligan upstarts on their loud motorcycles with their rap videos and whut nut. say, one old cunt for every 2000 "driver"s... it'd be a damn site cheaper than the current policy enforcement scheme.

You are living proof some people should stay out of the gene pool.

I am contracted to a customer to to provides a service.The terms of my contract deem that I must complete a minimum requirement of work tovsatisfy my customer. the contract is growing weed, . I must get a minimum of 49% strike rate from the seed they supply.
I manage eash year to get a 53% strike from the seeds supplied, I reach my quota required to keep my contract.
Is the 40% stated in the memo the minimum amount of persons required to pass this test for the company to be able renew its contract each year? Less than a %40% pass in a year would see the contract opened up to any other company who could meet this requirement.

you smoked the surplus yourself...?

Yep quota based contract.

Your customer would be better off specifying a delivered amount of product, of a certain quality, with clear measures as to what the quality measures were.

If you manage only to grow 35% of seeds but germinate all female plants, you have done much better than the grower who manages a 49% target, equally divided male/female.

The STANDARD is important... the quota merely easier to measure.

Tptb? Why don't you ask those 16-17 year old citizens if they want tougher licence tests?

What?
One of THE most brainless age group in the country?
So brainless the polies didn't even give them the vote?

I'm sure you'll get a ton on sense form 16-17 year old citizens....

The best question would be: Do they want to be good drivers and stay alive/uninjured and not kill/maim others? Who, in their right mind, would say no to that?

Better for who? If you want to categorise drivers into safe and unsafe lumps you wouldn't be handing licences out to anyone under 24 to start with.

Now that you've effectively got yourself voted out of office the next set of fuckwit politicians with a fresh new bunch of lobbyists in their ears will come up with another idiot policy with even less relevance to the real world. Rinse and reload.

What do you mean by better for who?

The hypothetical question which would be put to the tenagers is "Do you want to be good drivers and not be dead/injured or kill/maim others?" Who would want to consciously be a bad driver and be killed/injured etc?

Statistically they are categorised anyway. That's what this whole new licensing system is all about, most young drivers are unsafe and need to be upgraded.

Teenaged drivers are not "consciously" bad drivers ... after a few lessons (but before getting a license) ... they'll tell you they're getting quite good. And the "Boy-racers" that find themselves parked on their roof/in the side of a house/inside another car/under a truck ... etc. ... will ALL tell you how good a driver they are. And then howThey just got unlucky. And it wasn't their fault.

But hypothetically (of course) ... they might be wrong.

They are telling us it's the maximum number allowed to pass ...

[FJRider]

I guess their high insurance rates ... because they crash so often, just means they can't drive for shit.

Smart but can't drive. And too stupid to know ...

[scumdog]
