RoadUse

Driven to distraction?!? Drivers, Road Use, Driving... and other methods of getting from A to B... a general discussion on where the presumptions of so-called 'experts' are muddle-headed and just plain wrong!

Driving Tests

Will the proposed alterations make ANY difference to the quality of any new drivers who are unleashed onto our ever more crowded roads?

My answer is an emphatic NO.

Those youngsters who will go on to be safe drivers, who will listen to advice, take things slowly, build up their knowledge and experience with care, and actually take a pride in being responsible drivers... would have done so anyway. It is a matter of attitude and of admitting that there is more to learn.

Those youngsters who 'know it all' and only do enough to get through their tests, who, as soon as they have passed their tests, forget everything they were taught, who drive at breakneck speed, who treat traffic calming schemes as a challenge, using them as a slalom course... will continue in their own sweet way.

Yes, special insurance schemes could be put into force whereby they are only covered if they adhere to certain rules... but two questions! Who will enforce it and how will it be enforced... a police car, bike, or policeman on foot are rarely seen sights these days? And, if they do not adhere to the rules and are not covered... who pays for the damage to the innocent party's vehicle?

This is not even mentioning in passing the snuffing out of innocent lives, the injuries, the destruction of family life and all the other attendant miseries.
