driver training in this country is shit. Thats half the reason why

The brits do 160 because theyre confident doing it. I was lucky enough to do my learning in the UK and compared to what my family and mates have had to do here omg.

In addition god knows how many % are self/family trained by already poor/inexperienced drivers.

Its not just powerful cars gumby at the end of the day any driver in any car can be and is a hazard.

That shitbox hyundai doing 100 whilst tailgating you trying to keep up, whats he/she gonna do if you have to slam on the brakes ? Your dba's and abs etc all gonna work wonders, but for them its a magnified view of your subaru badges.

The whole system needs a reform, more training, less fines more demerits perhaps ? more stringent insurance.

It needs to go back to the emphasis on driving being a privelege not a right.

I know i sure as hell will think twice if doing 20-30 kmh over the limit will leave me with an automatic 1 month suspension etc.
