That sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea to me. A "top up" test every
5
years to retain your licence would certainly help raise standards.

I don't think we could stoop THAT low ......


The same
can be said for driving licences, whilst I'm I'm on my soapbox...

just ban mummin drivers...job done...


In any case, I cannot think of any way in which the
requirements have become more onerous or significantly different;
rather the reverse.

what about valves then? .... hammy mens should not be allowed to operate
valve equipment .....is that what you are saying? ...


The fact is, though, that the licence conditions and regulatory matters
that are an integral part of the full licence are completely different to
those from the 1960s. By dodging the Full exam, Charlie has not
demonstrated competence in those areas as they pertain to the current
situation, yet his M0 call allows him to build equipment and run it at
full
power.

Consider for a moment if Brian had done what Chaz has. There would be a
dozen people in ukra out for his blood over it.

naw ...he just became an M3 ........
