Madam, - Margery Brady (September 7th) asks why manufacturers make cars that can travel at more than twice the legal speed limit. I have another question.

The State has long recognised that a person wishing to drive a motor car needs to prove his or her ability to do so by passing a driver's test. So why does the State still allow about 350,000 people who have not proven this ability in a test to endanger others on the roads? - Yours, etc,
