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?

It is a common problem all over the world to encounter
car
accidents
.Some people argue that the
government
should make it mandatory for
drivers
to take a
test
every five years. In my point of view, the drawbacks of the
test
far outweigh the benefits. On the one hand, a regular

On the other hand
