It is a statistical fact that young male drivers are more likely to have or cause an accident.

However I have noticed these last few years that many young women are getting as aggressive as young men. Many a time I’ve been tempted to stop and ask the young woman following me if she wanted to see what was in my boot.

And to answer the original question – NO!

The five years and re-test idea may on the face of it seem like a good idea but the present testing system can barely cope with new drivers trying to pass their test so there would be no chance of introducing a five year re-test.

The real answer, as someone has already pointed out, is to teach people to drive properly and safely and not just to pass the test.
