| As a relatively new driver, the idea of driving without a licence annoys me. It took me a lot of effort, time and money to get to the standard of driving that I have now and the standard to pass the test. I do not believe that people who cannot pass this test are fit to drive. If they are not fit to drive then they are a danger, if they are a danger then they are putting me and every other road user at risk. Driving is a privilege, not a right, one which can be and is revoked from time to time.
As for driving without insurance, what do I do if you hit me and you can't pay to fix or replace the car? Why should I have to put up with that?
I fully support nearly all road laws and restrictions, driving is dangerous enough with the pillocks you get on the road, no need to make it worse.
Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, […] no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society.
