Its about time that the UK introduced a '3 strikes' rule with regard to
driving tests. The way the rules are now, you can take the two part test as
many times as it takes you to pass it. I don't know if you have to retake
the written test (ha! multiple choice questions, no minus marks for wrong
answers, but 100's of people fail it) each time that you fail the practical.

I believe that Germany (that right, Phil?) allows 5 attempts after which you
walk - permanently. That piece of 'harmonisation' I'd agree with.
