How about:

mandatory behind the wheel testing (in conjunction with eye and knowledge testing) for anyone above age "X",...

and also for anyone involved in an injury-producing traffic collision or a history of 2 or more minor traffic collisions in a two year time period?

How would that be unreasonable?

So how about we make that x = 16, not what do you think of the idea?

No problem for me whatsoever. Those that can, do.

And if I cannot pass it, I do not belong on the road, regardless of age. Performance talks, everything else, including BS, walks.

Well I have a problem with it. I don't like the idea of creating BS laws to fix non-existent problems. In the grand scheme of things considering the trillions of miles driven every year, the system seems to be working just fine like it is.

"non-existent problems". Hmm, it would seem that the fact there were around 5,000,000 accidents last year with over 37,000 fatalities might refute your insistence that "the system seems to be working just fine like it is". Sure looks like it could use a little improvement to me.
