Why do the DVLA continue issuing driving licences and not restrict them. as they know the roads are too crowded . Come on there not like T>V Licences which would not matter and I could not go and get a council house until one becomes available.?

Because it's a legal right for somebody to take the driving test and get a licence if they pass!
God, it would be even more like a nazi state if that were allowed!

Well as many people NEED a car to get to and from work, why shouldn't anyone who can prove they are able to drive safely, be able to get a licence. In any case, how would they restrict them, they re talking of making the driving test harder.

That's just it the issue is that the roads are too crowded, so they need to stop that being a problem, not by restricting people from driving, or by charging them extra fares, i mean thats the freedom of being in this country, the ability to be independent and drive.

They do not enforce the law-they are just doing their jobs. It is up to our Government legislation to restrict driving licences if necessary.

its not driving licenses thats the issue its that the tests are not stringent enough...
i have driven in countries accross the world and by far the uk is one of the worst, Italy and China are below it though..
UK drivers are too discourtieous.
Did You Know?
In Germany it is a motoring offence not to Allow vehicles to filter at junctions?
it just prompts another connected question who knows what a yellow box junction means?

That's a very good point but I can't ever imagine DVLA having the sense to bring something like that into action.

they have restricted it by doing the hazard perception test which is hard, and if i hadnt passed 7 yrs ago there is no way i would pass now, as i tried the hazard perception online

Have you got a driving licence? If so why not help and surrender it.

Maybe they should sell them on e-bay to get the most money out of the limited availability.

probably because the government makes too much money from road tax and the tax on fuel. they dont really care about the environment only the £££'s!
