man, do i like the sound of that. it would keep all marginal drivers up to speed on the laws. then people couldn't say "is that a law?" or "i didn't know that was illegal" or something similar.
but every year is too much. every five, until they reach a certain age or have an accident - then, as punishment, every year until they get the points removed or stop driving altogether.
the only thing i would disagree with is the raise in tax. the MVC is a private company, now, and all permits/licenses/registrations are handled by them. i think the state gets a cut, but i am not sure. it might be in the original contract of the sale to not only sell the DMV to that company but that they have to fork over a vig every year for a certain percentage.
so you handle it like the MVC handles everything: you make the people renewing their licenses pay for the additional testing. problem solved.
