   At the academy, we were given a weekend of advanced training to pass a
   basic driving skill test. Then an extra day, or as needed, to learn
   the fine art of parallel parking. The theory was, how can the citizens
   respect you as a symbol of authority and guidance if you can't even
   smartly park your police unit?



   Book 'em, Dano, Yer pal Ferrari Bubba

     Thanks F.G.,
        I'm one for LESS government and LESS requirements, not more.  I
     do think Phil hit on an interesting twist.  Make licenses
     gradational with more privileges earned with more proved
     competence, then add re-testing to allow improvement in
     qualification OR downgrading when performance degrades.
     Of course, have you ever seen officials (police) drive?  I doubt
     that any of them could instruct such a plan...
