The current practical driving test is only suitable if all youre ever going to do is drive from home to the village shop.
I didnt have a clue what i was doing when i first went on a motorway, i just winged it.
Theres no emphasis on danger, none of this is illegal because..., this is the road speed because..., no accident avoidance training what so ever besides the emergency stop.
The test does need to cover more areas, motorway at the very least, but it did amaze me how i read in a paper a little while back that some people fail their test multiple times a year, surely after so many attempts someone should step in and tell them no, youre just not able to drive a car.
On my test i backed into the curb twice, but i dont think the guy even noticed! Maybe thought id just hit the brake a little harshly?
