List of questions

[classic33]

With regards driving "without a driving licence or not in accordance with a licence", they could do with upping both the fine and the points for either offence. They show a complete disregard for other road users, and, in the case of without a licence consider there being only a monetary penalty as I doubt they'd ever be able to apply for a licence if they could be bothered to.

The first question states it's for England and Wales only.
As a resident of Scotland, should I not bother compiling the survey?

One section is about possible change to collection of samples like blood. Will let Mrs 73 know she will be interested as she's working knowledge from her time as FNP.
