My 18 year old daughter passed her driving test today first time with only 3 driving faults, over the moon and the days of dads taxi are now over it's now daughters taxi:D
 
No idea the relevance of this information to be honest ?

Not to be rude but it's a strange thing to post...like what would anyone do with this? Do we congratulate you or something ?

And yes my post it pointless also.
 
I already avoid enough of these drivers.. ;) :p

Well done! Not too bad for a new driver policy, especially when I think back to some of the quotes I had a few years back.
 
£2000 that's cheap! When I passed in 2009, mine was £3500 on a £1000 2001 pug 206! And that wss using every trick in the book.

£1600 for me in 2009 on a Rover 25 1.6 IL. Good old Quinn Direct. They went bust a year and a half or so later :p

They even gave me drive other cars for that. Can't even get that now with most companies even though majority of other cars would be less powerful/silly.
 
Congratulations to your daughter!

But this thread has got me thinking.

Should new drivers be forced to display P plates on their car?

I've seen some terrible driving from people who look as though they are still taking lessons but because they are displaying the P's I haven't honked or assumed they are drunk when they've missed the 5th chance to go on a roundabout and their general road use is appalling.

Now the flipside of this, some people see those plates and will treat them like learners i.e. do anything possible to get past them which can be dangerous. So I'd say there are pros and cons of newbies using P plates.

Will op be forcing his daughter to put those 'uncool' P's on her car?

What say you Motors?
