New Conservative driving proposals

[C.A.R.]

Agree with a lot of what's being said - not with the proposal itself however.

I think there should be greater, more in-depth tuition. Motorways are something which should be included. The test should encourage people to have an even better understanding of how a car works too. I know you already have to locate the battery, coolant, oil, dipstick etc. but this is incredibly tame and blindingly f*cking obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to rebuild a car using a Haynes manual and a penknife, just to have a better understanding of what's what.

Kid at work has just passed his test, on the 2nd try (took me 3 attempts to be fair) but he's as thick as pig shit. He regularly brags that now he can break the speed limit and 'rag it' around town with his mates. Matter. Of. Time.

I think they should make these dash-cams mandatory. It would cut down on so many false whiplash claims the insurance would be dramatically reduced. Accidents which so often go 50/50 would now be able to be correctly identified as to who was at fault. They're cheap as f*ck and the Russians have been using them for years - they're usually 3 steps behind the rest of the developed world!

My Mrs is trying to pass her test again next year, which will mean re-sitting her theory test too. To be honest, last year when she was taking her test she wasn't really ready and it was both a pain in the ass and a relief when she didn't pass.
