No, I said YOU suggested that was MY theory.

That higher standards for drivers would lead to higher vehicle standards?
Can't recall anyone ever suggesting that, in the UK context at least.
And it certainly wasn't me.
Could you provide a source?

Yes, at least we can agree with that, but you seem to be misrepresenting the position of myself and others on this point, so could you provide evidence to substantiate your point, either from on here or elsewhere?

If people want the market opened up at least be honest about the reasons...
Well I'll resist the temptation to say that you're actually the one acting in bad faith here and claiming that people's position on these matters is other than it actually is, but let's be charitable and assume that you haven't being paying sufficient attention.
Of course, if you can provide a source for your claim then I'll quite happily concede the point.
