They do this in some states in America. Other than that, no comment

Imo they should just ban alcohol. I don't and have never drunk n drive and my insurance won't cover me if I do.

I'm not sure, I've been driving a year and apart from the cockup yesterday have had no troubles.

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

I can think of better ways to reduce young driver deaths than banning them from using the motorway or now allowing them to drive at night.

though this bit is bullsh!t

"The insurance industry is supporting the campaign in the hope that reducing road deaths will bring down risk and cut the cost of car insurance for everyone, especially young people and new drivers"

like that will ever happen

F*ck me motorway driving is the safest, easiest form of driving. Just man-up and use your mirrors! Why stop young'uns from using it? Ensure they have driving time on motorways during their lessons (if not the test itself), and also ensure they have chance to drive at night and in rain. I've heard many a young'un not willing to drive at night because they've had no experience. Also these young'uns relying on using the rev counter for changing gears??!? Whatever next?

They should be made to take tests in mk1 fiestas, no pas, no abs, no rev counter.... perfect that and we may have some safer young drivers around!


I don't think a semi will give the same results

This is what I never get about parents and motorways, 'Be bloody carefull on the motorways' just completely ignoring the 20odd miles of twisty non lit B and A roads leading to the 'dangerous' motorways  :grin:

Having said that 2 days after passing my test I drove to Scotland and back  :grin:
