I have just watched a brilliant documentary on driving skills, with young adults, and how to improve your driving on the roads.
To me it was fascinating on watching how kids can be very cocky and give themself high scores and then at the end of the driving improvement scheme, then lower it.
With Insurances up for young kids and with one young adult had a black box supplied by an insurance company to prove that she was a skillful young driver.
The idea is extremely brilliant, however, my reservations are that the driving age for young adults should be raised to 19, and should NOT be allowed on major roads ie motorways until they can prove after TWO years that they can be careful. The M25 is a deathtrap and billed as the biggest traffic jam there ever can be. some vehicles are driven at over 100 miles an hour.
I have been driving for over 30 years, and it scares the death out of me, on some of the madman on our roads. If you are caught speeding more than twice, the licence should be taken away for 12 months.
Drink driving - lifetime ban.
What young drivers don't realise is that, the vehicle they are about to drive - can kill someone. So any limits that young drivers have should be even tougher, Insurance companies are tough on young drivers, and they have good reason to be, but safe drivers with a proven record are rewarded.
