I don't feel the test is particularly appropriate or that good at actually weeding out people who are "bad drivers", my general experience is that the most irresponsible drivers are the ones which pass their driving test easily. As such the whole way we test drivers needs to be overhauled but I personally am not sure what changes need to be made.dondare said:That's the legislation bit. Make the driving test more rigorous and enforce the laws more rigorously.
The problem is you have people acting like idiots on the road then incidents will happen. You simply can't mitigate away this with removing potential dangers from the road as you end up with everyone having their own personal road network.But the roads should never be considered as part of the process of Natural Selection, and even idiots need to be able to get around somehow. If dangers can be identified then they should be removed.
Very true, very true.Apart from anything else it is probably small comfort to a lorry driver who has just turned a car into a tin of corned beef that it was the other fellows fault.

dondare said:In any population random variation of any variable gives exactly equivalent numbers of subnormals and supernormals.
But injury, disease, genetic and congenital defects increase the proportion of subnormals.
Walking, cycling, driving subnormals.
A civilised society both protects them and protects itself against them.
Catrike UK said:I don't think the women on the forum are going to like you calling them subnormal.
Rhythm Thief said:But I can't understand why motorway driving isn't a compulsory part of any driving test.
4F said:It could be to do with the fact that not everyone has a motorway on their doorstep, nearest one to here is an hour away.
