I was explaining to my 17 year old why you apply the hand brake and how the clutch works in the cars and why I don't want to be changing it in his should he ever get one.
I also pointed out to him how the taxi in front of us facing the old entrance to the railway station had creep through the red light so his whole car was over the white line.
Professional driver they are not. We need the Police doing their job and dealing with all these minor traffic offences that turn into fatalities like outside Asda
