New idea for getting a driving licence

[mejinks]

As part of the new driving test, I vote that the examiner should get the pupil to drive to the nearest hellfrauds etc and ask the pupil to pick out something for their new car. Anything other than regular service item or air freshner should be instant fail.

Also, I think driving licences shouldn't be given to immature idiots with cash. Take my complete **** for a younger brother. Passed his test 2 months ago, already on his third car! His current car has a 1.2 engine yet the berk still manages to smash the rear stub axle and set the airbags off with less than 100 miles on the clock while doing what I suspect were handbrake turns. Don't get me wrong, but there are car enthusiasts and there's numpties commonly refered to as charvers and these are the problem.

I don't know what its like these days, but I didn't get my driving licence by saving up the tokens from the back of weetos packets. All newly qualified drivers should take a retest, randomly imposed on them after a year of driving to make sure they are capable of driving as from my experience of the backwards cap wearing neon abusing, loutish ugly retarded scum of society, they aren't fit to own model cars.

Yes, all 17 year olds are baseball cap wearing scum of the earth.

Yes, I said that didn't I

..thats incredibly harsh.

Just because you modify a car it doesn't mean you can't drive. A mate of mine has a modified Clio, Lexus lights the lot. He treats it with utter respect.

There is modifying and there's murdering a car. You know the distinction, its called taste and decency.

Right, for the people who read what they want to read, I said newly qualified drivers. Im assuming you can read before getting your head up your own ****

Anyway, my point is a valid one as it not only applies to the idiots but also to nervous drivers and people who pass their test then drive like they have never had a lesson.

And to Quantic, I don't have a problem with Halfords, but it is a well known example to keep it simple for the cross section of posters that have an IQ of less than a baked potato. I also have a life thanks for asking.

Yes, Morba, it may well be Newport has a greater cross section of GLC lovin backwards cap wearing Chavelier driving numpties....

Actually Mr Jamez it had just come out of a testing station....

To Mr AGW_1, cheers. I used to be into modifying cars in a big way (even made a business out of it) but as I pointed out in another reply, there are tasteful mods like alloy wheels, clear indicators, tinted windows. However and this is where my point lies, there are bad mods like undercar neons, neon washer jets, poundland bins for exhausts and 16 valve stickers on car that struggle to have 8.

Im NOT branding all 17 year olds, I still can't see how that came across in my original post, but hey im not 17 or quick to jump on a post that touches a nerve.

lol at the fog light comments and agree

Someone else who can't read?

All that a test shows is that you can drive to a certain standard and understand road rules, if you are asking people who have been driving for around 4 months with an instructor to suddenly leap out and start driving like someone who has for 20 years you are mistaken its not possible, you as a driver on the road have to give room for error that there are nervous people on the road, driving up their arse with your foglights on and your BMW badge on your bonnet isn't going to help .

Fact is after 1 year everyone would fail their DSA test through rules like mirrors and procedures or observations but be a much better driver because of the milage, a test of the same sort is therefore pointless. Not to mention taking away a license from someone who has a job would be crippling.

As to the proportion of young drivers being penis heads, well I would say its no higher than the rest of the age groups, you get morons in all of the age ranges regardless of it being a Punto or a Porsche. Already it is heavily biased against young drivers - 6 points and you have your license taken away, that could be two slight cockups at speed cameras.


I passed on Wednesday and have basically just about come to terms with the power my mondeo has and have decided that if I drive the way I have since wednesday, I am going to end up dead. So from now on I am trying my hardest to stay alive.

The fact I dive a BMW has nothing at all to do with it. I can drive and have never used my foglights when un-necessary and certainly dont drive up peoples behinds.

Im not saying its possible to drive like an experienced driver after passing your test. I have never said that. However, what I am saying is that after a year, you should still be able to pass your test no?

I dont understand how you think that someone who can't use mirrors and signals properly is a better driver? Mileage is irrelevant. If you are a bad driver, you will stay a bad driver regardless of how many miles you do.

Also I dont get your point about having a job that requires a licence. Does the fact you have a driving job mean you won't have accidents through negligence?

The point my first post was trying to make is that there should be retests to make sure new drivers haven't picked up any bad habbits and can still actually drive. I think I should also point out that I think this also applies to the elderly too.
