In Germany they refer to it as 'the idiot test'.

When AUS kicked off its plan for an eventual National Driver Training Scheme back in December 2004, initially involving VIC and NSW pupils, and which you now see being adopted by the states - as the increasingly harmonised, graduated licensing system, a key part of this system and process - is to weed out (identifiy) those in need of particular remedial attention.

The system itself is 'defensive-driving' in nature (eg; component - hazard perception), with intervention strategies targetted at the 'cowboy' element, which seeks to identify them and interact with such by use of accredited driving instructors, facilitators, discusionary phone calls etc.

Our new AUS system is an adoption of an EU driver training scheme.
