Comment on Road casualties have become normal in Britain. But there is another way

I love the arguments about tolerances, how “having to stare at the speedometer will make things less safe”.
The average 17 year old is expected to be able to drive at a steady speed while dividing attention effectively and NOT staring at the speedometer. So basically all the people going on about how they will “have to stare at the speedo” are saying: “Speed limits shouldn’t be enforced because I’m too incompetent to safely drive at the speed limit”. It makes me think that it would be a good idea that driving licenses really expire at their expiration date, requiring a new driving test.
Anyone who thinks driving at the speed limit needs to stare at the speedo seriously needs some remedial training from a driving instructor.

Agree. Too incompetent, and maybe too lazy to improve.
