MA Safe Driver Program: Failing to renew makes you an Unsafe Driver?

I recently received a note in the mail from the MA RMV. The note informed me that I had 5 "Surchargable events" on my license, and I MUST complete driver re-education if I want to keep my driver's license. I am apparently a danger on the road.

This being the case, as I am guilty, I may as well admit my horrible safety offences...are you ready?

1. Expired Registration (taken care of the next day)
2. Expired License (ditto)
3. Failure to have the registration IN THE VEHICLE (never mind that they can easily look it up, and look it up anyway, even if you have it...)
4. At fault accident (tapped another car at 2 MPH in stop and go traffic)
5. Ticket for "following to close" (from the same accident as #4)

So I would like to ask the MA RMV and particularly the safe driver program.... does the course cover paperwork? How do clerical errors make one a bad driver? Is a single minor "fender bender" (more of a denter than a bender) really deserve to be two events?

Is it any wonder people see state workers as incompetent? Is this really just one more attempt to squeeze us for some cash? Be ware people.... the state of MA is out for your money.... and thats apparently ALL they care about.
