Funny you should say that....
Now when i was learning, i went on a dual carrageway for about 2 minutes. That was my training (luckily, i wasn't stupid)..... My friends never went on it. My GF's little brother just had his test after about 5 lessons. HE wasn't confident at all, his instructor said he'd pass, even though he hadn't done para parking and been on any dual carrageways....... He failed.... But, if he'd passed, he'd have had no DC training at all. Anyone who lives in a city won't either (probably why most people just can't drive down this way)... Its the guidelines that allow people to pass. It should be made MUCH harder imo. |

Er, what?
 You do have some strange ideas. Ever been to the states? From my limited experience, driving ability over there can be truely terrifying, and they do get motorway training. The Germans have the (or one of the) hardest driving tests in the world, yet we still have better safety records than both of them. Current driving standards slipping have nothing to do with current licencing guidelines. |
