Bar those with mental records from driving
I APPLAUD the police for their good work in apprehending the former mental patient who led them on a 90-minute chase in a stolen ice truck ('2 years' jail, therapy for mentally ill driver', Feb 22).

A more comprehensive solution may have to be adopted for the safety of pedestrians and other motorists. Those with mental records should be barred from holding driving licences altogether as the Traffic Police cannot be expected to monitor this.

This way, we will tackle the problem at source and not merely the outcome.
