Madam, - It's great to read (The Irish Times, May 10th) that the Government plans to introduce measures to cut the waiting time for the driving test to just eight weeks. Could I suggest that instead of scrapping these measures afterwards, it use them to re-test all drivers every five years? Such a scheme should be self-financing and more importantly, might help reduce the carnage on our roads. - Yours, etc,
JOE HARVEY, Glenageary Woods, Glenageary, Co Dublin.
