a check as part of mot would be a good thing and should be standard, as its impairment to the drivers peripheral view.
i would be very much in favour of that idea
Should road laws be tougher on Chav drivers and boy racers?

i jsut find in my experience that everyone on the road expects you to do the limit all the time, if i was driving at 20 on straight 30, i would get flashed and honked like crazy
soz to get up in arms, the whole thing annoys me
thankfully it annoys all of us, these people are a big reason for high insurance for new drivers and continually rising insurance as you buy nicer/faster/better cars :/

also, a 1ltr car can still go over the speed limit at all limits.
on bikes i can almost understand it, however in cars it just wouldnt work imo
Thats why i also suggested restriction, limit the cars to 45mph for the drivers first year, then 55mph for the next 3 years, give them a chance to grow up a bit.
They could still speed in 30 -40mph zones, but i think its as good as can be and will certainly slow them down. especially if the restiction also incures a slow acceleration.

but tell them they cannot go on a motorway, or a dual carriageway?
lorries would overtake them, coaches also.
thats not a good place to be for a driver in a car that can only go at low speeds.
also at that point, they can still do 40-50mph along the 30mph zones, or outside schools etc.
also it would limit the amount of people having jobs that needed some driving to be done, or from living too far from work. 45mph would take me near on an hour to get to work i bet!!

Even Learners (80kph) can go on motorway and dual carriageways even though they are stuck at 80kph.
It is deadfully painfull but it can still be done with out too much hastle.
It does get a little off putting having huge trucks over taking you or sitting up your arse though

thats the problem, they become a very big accident risk. your putting a clearly unexperienced person in a potentially dangerous position.
