I've still not heard a compelling reason why mandatory periodic re-testing

Logistics? If one presumes that people take a test and then drive for 40

with 2.5% of the drivers per annum. Give people a test, say every 5
years, and it will have to cope with 20%. That's an awful lot of
appointments to fit in.
