Highway Code Petition Reply

[Arch]

Something I've thought of, which would be an interesting experiment, and perhaps do a small amount of good, would be that the BBC should do one of those "Test the Nation" things they do, entirely on roadcraft - questions on the Highway Code, and also on hazzard perception, and traffic law - the sort of things we often take the trouble to find out, in order to protect ourselves, or to inform the ignorant. The general public love doing quizzes, generally, I think expecting to find out how good they are, and a few people might just get a surprise, and a few illusions shattered... it might also give people cause to think, if they find out that a lot of other people are ignorant - I think most people assume most people are competent.

That said, I'm all in favour of regular retesting...

the contributory negligence consideration is the big one - as Keith said. Sad to see Ladyman go............

many cagers seem to think that the HC is only for people sitting the L test...
