man?....I think 5 years is a bit much. An average person drives what? 12-20,ooo miles a year? Thats quite a bit of practice miles for a 17 year old to be comfortable. I think it should be when you officially retire...youre like over 60 and your senses have been dulled a bit. You fail the test and they stick you on a scooter so you only hurt yourself instead of someone else..ahha
Im just glad grandma was up to date with her vehicle this morning...I prefer her driving a little compact as opposed to the lincon towncar toe crusher...haha
