Why don’t we introduce some of the same requirements for drivers as we have for private pilots (think traditional bi-annual flight reviews)? Not only would we most likely reduce fatalities, accidents and injuries but we’d probably also eliminate many unsafe drivers from the road while placing a forcing function on public transit to increase usage. We’d probably also see a knock on effect to the training market and increase employment in that field. We might also see an increase in tax/fee income for government entities to help reduce reliance on gasoline taxes. Obviously I haven’t done a rigorous analysis but it would seem like a win all around in my humble opinion.

Can't speak for the FAA but the CAA only requires me to sit with an instructor for one hour every two years to renew my SEP rating.

It's not onerous and I think you're right, a sit down with an instructor every two years to correct any minor bad habits before they get out of control is an excellent idea.

Any politician/party who goes for such a policy would lose a lot of popularity.

A slow rollout could happen where this short renewal time only applies to new licence holders, but then it'd take 20 years to really see its effects.
