I've not heard much about this story Graham.Did anyone at anytime mention how long this bloke had been a learner driver?Weeks,months,years possibly?And had he ever attempted a driving test?

Mr Bartlett said that Cambray had been learning to drive since January 2004 but his driving instructor, Ian Smith, had said that he was a "nervous", "low-ability" driver who needed about 60 hours' tuition before he was ready to pass his test.

Mr Bartlett said that, about a month prior to the incident, Mr Cambray, again driving unsupervised in the BMW car, had had another accident when he stalled three times on a hilly road as he waited to turn right and rolled back into the car behind.
Accident occured in July 2004, he'd been learning since January 2004, so it seems that after roughly 5 months on an L plate he decided to drive his mates to the beach.
