Not a problem Doug, consider it done and by the way I found your post most interesting.
We are all on the same side and to clarify I don’t believe we should issue a license at 14 years of age. However in some circumstances i.e. country areas and under the supervision of a competent adult it could be of benefit. My point here is that we need to encourage the desire to better/improve ones skills and so step up to the mark.
The alternative of more and more rules, restrictions and fines only serves to breed contempt. We in my opinion can’t always work on the lowest denominator for all to live by so to speak
