This is the one I'd push forward. If my friend Steve didn't have a 200hp+ Leon Cupra he most likely wouldn't have been killed. RIP, one year yesterday  :sad:

Post License Skid Pad Lessons and free race track evenings.

Or go the Finnish route and learn to be a Rally Driver, if you want to win, employ a Fin!

I haven't stopped at the crash site since planting them last year, but from driving past I can't see any  :sad: I need to pull over soon and check up. I need to leave a bunch of flowers there for him.

It's not the test, it's being young. No matter how difficult the test, as soon as they are out with their mates the hormones take over and before you know it you're on fire going backwards into a hedge.

No amount of training will make up for common sense, which you learn over time. Although some never do.

Sad fact, but a fact none the less.

Ima firm believer that the reason kids die at high speeds is 100% down to inexperience! The test we have to do covers what they think to be useful but imo it should be mandatory to study more real life situations like ice, breaking/cornering at high speeds, counter-steering a snake etc etc. This would help much more and not effect peoples livelihoods
