I think while a retest scheme sounds nice it would just turn into a money earner and be really hard to police and implement. Such a scheme would need to be focussed more than a simple general retest/assessment. Good indicators would be tickets/penalties and as more cars get "monitoring" maybe that could trigger an assessment/pass. My previous satnav had that sort of monitoring built in as part of saving fuel.

Another feature of my older unit not on the new one is that it didn't let you reprogramme it while driving without acknowledging the risk.

Parking - my preferences (also depend on situation)
1)Drive in, drive out
2)Reverse in, drive out
3)Drive in, reverse out.
