I wouldnt say my teacher was bad, i did pass first time, but in saying that he did only really teach me how to pass my test, which is what it seems like most instructors do. It was only when i first got my car that i actually learnt how to drive.
The problem with motorways to at least an new driver is that theres lots of fast moving and large vehicles, which can be quite unnerving to some especially when its their first time. I didnt have a problem getting to grips with how the motorways work, just with lane hoggers and lorries that get right up on your arse when in a 50 limited road works zone...
But i agree, other motorists ruin driving, forcing into gaps, dangerous over taking, not allowing over taking, cutting across carriageways to make an exit, repeatedly going the long way round roundabouts without indicating because theyre lost (happens often around the NEC iv found).
The proposals wont get in. Whats the point of selling a 5 seat car to someone if theyre not allowed to fill the other 4? Whats the point in putting in lanes for people who give colleagues a lift to work in certain areas? Whos going to work to buy a car that they then might not be able to use to get home at night? Whos going to monitor this logbook to make sure its not been blagged? Just another huff of wind from someone trying to make their job position seem not pointless.
If anything id like to see a BHP limit on cars like they do bikes, i imagine theres a lot less risk to others by someone coming off their scooter than someone having their license for a week and binning an evo
