New Conservative driving proposals

[Niall]

I agree with parts of it to be honest!
Quite frankly, the skill level of new drivers in this country is shocking compared to most overs in Europe. We have one of the highest rates of accidents for young drivers and i genuinely think its because people are not shown what can happen when it all goes tits up. How many of you have had a accident or a near miss and its calmed your driving right down?
It will effect a lot of people for the first year (the curfew they are proposing is for 1 year after passing your test) who are genuinely good drivers and work late, visit friends late etc but there is also a substantial number out weighing those sensible ones who think because they have a pink licence and a ripspeed air filter on their saxo (Jamie....), they can drive like they are on the set of fast and furious.

Personally i think the best way to go about it is driving instruction like in Sweden. minimum of 1 years driving learning with learning how to control a car when it all goes wrong and what to do in the event of an accident.
