They could do better, for example having certain criteria for automatic retesting including a certain number of traffic citations, or age. Perhaps even give licenses at 16 and retest at 20, and also retest every 5 years after age 70.
And the retest should be 10x as hard as the initial test.....
As much as I agree with you on this, you realize it would be a highly charged political issue. Any administration implementing this would be quickly removed after the next election by politicians campaigning against such measures.
