And not just as a refresher/competency test! It should also be a chance to educate on updates like legislation that get passed, safety information and tips as research improves, and new traffic controls like double diamonds or roundabouts that weren’t in use when people learned to drive in their youth.

But at a minimum you should have to re-validate that you are a competent and safe driver every decade or so, agreed.

    I don't know what makes roundabouts so hard that 90% of people stop in my town when nothing is in it instead of yield like the sign they had seen in their drivers test.

    I like your ideas.

    Other drivers are assholes.

    Asshole drivers are terrifying.

    "Nothing in it" usually means one car on the other side to most people.

    The car on the other side is an asshole, and there's no way to tell which exit is theirs.

    Nobody uses their blinkers in a roundabout like they're supposed to in order to indicate this (blink towards the center to indicate staying in, blink towards the outside to indicate leaving).

    Other drivers are assholes.
