120 hours is stupid.
I've had about 12 hours and I've got my test on the 9th. You'd have to be a proper nonce to need 120 hours driving experience in order to drive to test standard.
The insurance system is keeping kids out of cars that they can't handle, so surely we have no need for this. You're going to get a few spoiled kids skipping the insurance issue, but the same will happen with the new laws.
Maybe advanced driving should be mandatory, but at a reduced cost.
I don't know why they criticise new drivers so much, when in most of the accidents I've seen, or nearly been in due to the other driver being blind, the drivers were older than the supposed 17-24 group that causes all the accidents.
