With less people able to afford to drive and less people who are essentially too stupid to control a ton and a half of 120mph battering ram there would be less crashes and make it safer for the rest of us.
Driving is a privilege not a right.
DumDum you f*cking genius, because obviously having money makes you a better driver....good one.
Base it on driving ability, not privilege...I hope you're trolling.
You have both misinterpreted my comment. I suggested that you should have both money and a brain to learn to drive, if your missing a brain or suitable funds then you shouldnt drive.
Those moaning about the cost of lessons, your average young driver insurance is £300 a month so how many lessons can you buy for £300 a month cos even if your getting ripped off its £50 a lesson so your looking at more than 1 a week. If your paying a sensible price then youll get 3 lessons a week for what your insurance is gonna cost you.
If you dont have the money to learn then you dont have the money to drive. END OF
I really think that the theory test should have elements of basic common sense motoring (not just knowing the highway code inside out) and also there should be reactions tests and also basic mechanical knowledge like changing a bulb or a spare wheel and what to do if your car starts making funny noises or feels like the wheels are gonna fall off (although really that should come under common sense)
I also think that you shouldnt be able to pass your test before your 18 so that 17 year olds get at least a year of practice and there should be a power to weight ratio cap on cars before your 21 and 25.
