The Minister should consider a practice used in the United States whereby a driver who is about to reach the disqualification stage – whether it is at 12 or 14 points – must undertake an advanced driving test programme. Offenders who sit such a two-day test successfully can be credited with two points. Although there is a high charge associated with the test, it leads to improved driving techniques as well as giving people a second chance. That American model might be worth examining.
