The only problem is that SOME officers who give the test will deliberately and automatically flunk anyone they don't like, and there's no appeal, the way you' ve described the idea. The problem is that "unsafe operation" must be completely determined by the officer who's giving the ticket. The potential for abuse and discrimination is unbelievable. That's unfortunate.
