Sounds like you've got something, an encounter, you'd like to get of your chest.. come on gis the full story, teflone stylee so you can move on and we don't get any more of these threads.
We [bikers] can also go out and pass a course [CBT] in one day, maybe more, and be let loose, providing we put the funds together to do so, on the roads on a rather underpowered bike so it works both ways.
I'd rather hope those idiots are "in" rather than "on" their car, might prove problematic for everyone if not.. even more so if they're "on" one or all four of their wheels, yuk. 
My 200kg + bike is a killing machine. I acknowledge'd well within my first commute on it that if I hit someone side on they'd most likely be toast, we'll have responsibility out on the road. Accidents happen, accident being the key word. I could have just passed my test and got the same bike.. laws and tests work to a certain point and then it all comes down to the individual. Anyway you hurtle past cars only divided by a single white dotted line for the most part at speeds that should you collide even a small amount you could get poato'd, if it worries you that much then I'd advise you don't use the roads.

Bore off.
Really, what's your sob story and what are you hoping to get out of publishing your rather weird ideas here?
FULL STORAAAAAY.

Riding a motorcycle for 12 months before allowed to do the car test? Why, on the planet Earth, would you even want that? 
How about 12 months of riding a horse/horse carriage, so you know what not to do when approaching a horse rider on the road? 
I suspect you're young, very young, moped age, if that's a thing. You'll either grow up or give up. Anyway, motorcycle licensing is a result of car driving people voting for car driving representatives, making all the rules in favour to car drivers. Swap the car drivers for majority. Motorcycling is a dangerous hobby/way of transportation, so it is advisable to take a safe approach of multi-level licences. We can either have that or have laws that would limit what manufacturers can and cannot sell in the EU. Check the Indo-Asian motorcycle market, not many places where you could ride a Firedblade, are they?
TL; DR: You might think the system is not ideal and that it's discriminative. I think it's alright, considering how accessible 160+mph motorcycles are, in Europe. Or you'd rather preffer the L plate warriors on the big bikes from the day one?

horse riding?? What a stupid comparison! What I'm saying is that drivers need to understand observation for other vehicles around them! |

Alright, so 12 months of cycling, then. Mr. Wolf Simpson would love that. 
*Is he still alive? I mean the cyclist who was mostly, willingly, crashing into other vehicles and yelled at people because of they allegedly did something wrong while he was cycling by.
Nevermind, he's still out there: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiFoXqy7HcNt6DD_zx7u_ag

It's the weekend warriors who can't filter what fuck me off in the spring/summer.
The vast majority of car drivers stick to do highway code sort of and are predictable. Though there's always one thick bastard who thinks he can beat me off the lights and I shoot off up to 60 before he is even out of 1st. 
You just lack skill and experience. That and you are young dumb and full of cum. |

Strange isn't it, putting aside the biklife wankers, if a group of bikers are on the road, there are plenty of car drivers who will claim to be intimidated.
99.9% of the time cars, vastly, outnumber bikes on the road, a fact which seems to completely bypass the car drivers' monkey sphere!
