Anyway there has been the tiniest sliver of positive news from this.

Agree crazy banning learners on motorway under controlled tuition they will learn how to handle it. Now not proposing green horns there should be staged competance test. Once passed they still learning not allowed on open roads on there own but there allowed under registered driving instructors on motorways.
Another not sure if the competence level should be reviewed test be more stringent. Would argue allowing outside tuition ie non driving instructor should be reviewed. How many hours learning before test taken reviewed too.
They then learn advanced driving techniques including visit to skid pan to learn hazard control.
The system they use to speeders, drugs, mobile and drink driving should be done too by police give them hard facts that what will likely happen.
Why wait why let people self learn motorway driving surely preventation the best solution. However you cant change humans once taught inevitably gets chucked into brain bin. Wonder if drivers become so careless as safety in cars gone to new levels. When they see racing drivers walk away 200mph crashes wonder they think aha only 70mph-90mph I wont die with our now ultra safe cars. Yet we still see racing drivers killed 2 sadly recently but still dont click in the brains.
Should Ford impact collision be compulsary to all cars to me what happens if it fails would we get into new level invisinsability. Maybe speed limiters should be compulsary again it wont stop accidents sadly unless limiter modified by GPS information then tells the car speed limit for conditions. Problem then is those new cars would never be bought second hand market or people would remove them.
It may well been speeding but not jumping to conclusions just yet.
