Retake driving test for some traffic offences as opposed to points and penalty.

The idea

Instead of issueing fixed penalty notices drivers should be given the option of retaking their driving test for minor traffic offences i.e. crossing solid white lines, failing to observe traffic signs etc. The lack of understanding of the highway code by some motorists is alarming. This would improve driving standards.

Why is it important?

This would improve driving standards. Points and penalty and / or disqualification does not always improve driving standards.
