Speaking of bad drivers - on the way home from dropping Amy off at work I looked in the rear view mirror and thought to myself "That black Audi is awfully close", and then realised that the front end of his car looked like it had gone ten rounds with Tyson.

He shot round me and another car by using the wrong lane at a roundabout and proceeded to tailgate the next car to within a couple of feet..


You'd think that having (by the look of it) very recently remodelled the front of his car, he might have learnt that a little braking distance is a good idea? But no, nobody seems to learn from their mistakes anymore

There in lies one of the major problems I believe. Could be said to be true in other areas of life too

We're all human and make mistakes at times IMHO

TBH, I get more frustrated with people making silly (and sometimes dangerous) mistakes and not acknowledging they've done it If someone pulled out in front of me and forced me to make an emergency stop they'll get the horns If they put their hand up and acknowledge what they've done then all is well and good, I'll just get some space between them and I ASAP

I've made plenty of mistakes in my driving career but consider myself to be a reasonably competent driver... Worse than some, better than many I don't think there is a simple good/bad when it comes to driving

I still maintain that there should be skid pan and HGV/PSV/Motorcycle experience all included in the basic driving course and test

+1 as well!

Followed by a further test for motorway driving. Which the entire population must pass within 5 years or no motorway use.

Absolutely.
