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.

To address the first part the "english lesson" that I am not in need of.
PROACTIVE; to initiate something that may prevent a situation that is unwanted, from arising.
REACTIVE; to act after the fact to try to minimise the adverse effects of an unwanted situation.
See I can do it too!
I fail to see how you can use your imagination to deduce that I am contradicting myself.
My post no9 states "a fair step in the right direction" not the be all and end all.
Also I have continuity in my posts and if you cared to peruse any of my previous posts on the subject of driver training you will be able to understand my view on the subject.
I know you have read them before but you either don't remember them or choose to take simple statements like a fair step in the right direction as as an encyclopedia of someones point of view and total knowledge of a particular subject.
As to the idea that you had. " I had an idea for a possible solution to this dilemma" post no 4.
You are supposed to give credit for someones elses ideas where its due otherwise its plagarism.
Lucky for us readers you admitted as much in post 14 when you mentioned the real owners of the idea in an attempt to give "YOUR IDEA" some credence.
Unless you are over eighty years old I can't see how it is "YOUR IDEA"
I much prefer to debate the subject at hand on facts, discuss viewpoints and give credit where credit is due
rather than make it a personal arguement but you seem to have a habit of playing the person rather than the subject if someone is disagreeing with you.
I think its poor form.
You put out some interesting posts from time to time but I am afraid you have lost a degree of credibility on this one.
Back to the topic
Regardless of where the idea came from, some parts of which have merit, I still think its draconian when applied as a solution to the learner driver scheme.
