mind you we will only get the idiotic government haters with the "this government is shit, it's against my human rights to make me do a proper driving test. How am I supposed to drive my benefits children to school in my mobility car now!"
This!
I have been part of and led campaigns to get a similar system here. I so admire Swedens training system.
The facts are there to show it works too. First you start at 16, so you get a year before you even permitted on the road as a learner, then a year on the road.
I cant think of many countrys that have SO many talented drivers....and theres a reason.
Plus the death rate in car accidents between 17-25yr olds in sweden is a third of what it is in britain. Thats a lot of lives lost due to poor training/test levels in GB
Wishes for more power...
