---> should older drivers be forced to take the new drivers training as it really isnt us younger generation responsible for most crashes, its actually the elderly and 30+ age group that have no clue how to drive cuz they never had formal drivers training ..
As an elderly driver, I've had drivers training. I also passed the G test about 4 weeks after my 16th birthday. In fact I think that I had a few more classes of drivers ed left to go while I already had my G.

My test basically was one big square. Turn right out of the parking lot, go around the block and park backwards in that spot. Easy peasy. Total time - less than 15 minutes.

They really should make the tests harder. Maybe 1 hour in traffic/401/7/8/busy intersections, turning left constantly?

And parking should be done in a real world parking lot (notice that the spaces are getting narrower) not at the ministry. Squeeze yourself in a spot between two cars at walmart. More real world situations would be great.
