Older people can be idiots too!

I do get where you're coming from. In an ideal world it'd be great and work well. Sadly idiots will still get them illegally which would only serve to be a pain in the **** for those doing things "by the book" and no doubt some councils would try to price licensing so high in some areas making it unaffordable (like some councils do with hots).

Drugs/guns are illegal yet people still get/have them. Legislation just wouldn't change anything. It's not a massive problem anyhow, I do feel some people blow things out of all proportion.

I rather see a license for parenting! Plenty of irresponsible kid owners out there!
