you have to get a licence to drive a car/truck/motorbike etc yet people crash them every day. a licence is not a solution. its just more red tape and expense.

Perhaps what people really want is some form of mandatory training. I believe these facilities already exist but are voluntary.

I still don't see the need. These opinions are often put forward by generations who had very little in the way of training for any licence aquired back in those days. Rather ironic really.
Articulated vehicles IMO need extra testing. I need extra testing to drive trucks or buses so why not caravanners to pull heavy vans around. Why not over a certain weight of GCM. Or go back to lowering the speed limit for towed trailers of a certain GCM.
