    I was going to put this in the Learning To Drive forum but I thought I would get a better response in here.
    from http://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/national-news/politics/greens-seek-new-twotier-driving-test-system-1257850.html

    The Green Party is proposing a new two-tier system of driving tests that would award restricted licences to motorists who agree to drive only within their locality and at certain speeds.
    The party's deputy leader, Mary White, says the move is designed to ease the plight of people living in isolated parts of the country.
    These people would be allowed to sit an easier driving test if they only used their cars within their locality and agreed to limit their speed.
    Ms White claims many people in rural areas are "condemned to be rural hermits" due to their reluctance to sit the current driving test.

    Mary White was on Newstalk this morning speaking about how she knows several people who have failed their test multiple times and how this effectively wasn't fair and how people in rural areas should be able to drive in their locality.

    Am I the only one who thinks that this is yet another ridiculous idea from the greens? Is this woman even competent to be the deputy leader of a ruling political party?
