Take a test every five years: yeah, but, the testers can't keep up with the demand for testing new drivers. A friend's daughter just flunked a driving test and all the slots are booked up until September for another chance to test.

NOW - here's the thing. If you can train self-driving cars to also be testers, that would work. And why shouldn't a self-driving car also be programmed to note errors of human drivers.

Given that self-driving cars will be taking over (See Humans Need Not Apply, we can get rid of testing humans altogether.
