But I can quite happily counter that argument saying that in 10 years of driving and probably 150,000 miles I haven't encountered every situation and I still learn things when I'm out on the road although yes most of my learning is done.
Passing your test is just a minimum standard to then be able to go out and start the real learning.
Gotta agree with DumDUM on this one. I am 50, passed my test at 16 whilst in the army, passed my hgv less than a year later, and been driving large and very large/oversize/weight vehicles all over the world since, done in excess of 2 million miles I should think, and I AM STILL learning....it never stops, and as the roads get more and more congested, driving styles MUST change to take account of this....But the curfew IS a daft idea...and as for no ne under 30....that then takes about half the cops off the road don't it?????
