Encouraging people to do the right thing is a better long tem solution rather than punishment every time.

Proactive: Do it before.
Reactive: Do it after.
Preparing drivers before they are allowed out on the road and not letting them out UNTIL they are of sufficient standard in PROACTIVE.
Just making them do a course and then letting them loose regardless of how bad they are and then using punitive measures to clean up the mess in REACTIVE.
You are contradicting yourself.
But to clarify:
A driver is timid and has very little confidence. They have extreme difficulty judging distance and speed.
This is demonstrated by minor bumps in car parks etc. and their reluctance to merge into traffic unless they can see nothing coming on either side of the road even if visibility is several kilometres thereby holding up sometimes large numbers of other drivers.
They slow down when merging on to freeways and stop at roundabouts.
None of these things are illegal and none would cause a fail in a license test.
Should a person of this level of skill be allowed to drive on the road as is or should they continue to be trained until they are capable of operating the vehicle and interact with other traffic in a safe and non obstructive manner.
