    That sounds like a similar system to what the UK introduced after WW2. It was scrapped in most of the country in the 1970s for the downsides you’ve mentioned.

    I never had to do it, but instead had to study why it was scrapped. I’m surprised it’s still a common system in highly developed countries such as France!
