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!
