Once every decade? I'd be happy to live with that, in return for a very
large number of incompetent fuckwits being removed from the roads. £30/yr
(although the vast majority of people don't have a bike licence or need a
trailer licence, so it'd actually be £85, or considerably less than a
tenner a year) is a tiny proportion of the cost of driving. It's also
very likely to result in much larger savings on insurance premiums.
