Some people think that it should be compulsory for people to retake their driving test every five years. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

#people #test #five #years
The importance of a frequent evaluation of driving skills has become a hot topic among the community now. There are some, who elaborating
further
 on making
this
 a mandatory requirement as well.
However
,
this
 comes with both positive and negative aspects. In most countries, the driving
test
 consists of a practical and written
test
 followed by a medical
test
. So,
such
 type of frequent evaluations would help to measure the physical conditions of a driver
such
 as eyesight or the reaction time.
Also
, these are the most common weaknesses of a driver, that causes accidents.
Hence
,
this
 is one of the major advantages of having a
test
.
Then
, due to technological advancement, the features of vehicles are being upgraded within a short period of time. Even a well-experienced driver could take some time to be familiarized with some of the new features. Through
such
 an evaluation, they might get a chance to experience modern vehicles.
This
 is another key benefit of having a
test
 every five years.
Thirdly
,
this
 would be a greater opportunity to know the updates of traffic laws too. While vehicles and transport infrastructures are upgraded, the law
also
 has to be adapted
accordingly
.
Such
 a mechanism can be used to communicate the modifications in traffic laws to drivers. Meantime, arranging
this
 kind of
test
 for all the license holders seems not practicable. mainly there will be difficulties in arranging proper locations to hold the exams.
Moreover
, allocating examiners
also
 will be a tedious task. Another major issue is the budget allocation for
this
 kind of
test
 to print papers, pay examiners, etc. In conclusion, there are more advantages than disadvantages of having
such
 kind of a
test
. But it would be better if we can limit
this
 to several vehicle categories.
