driving in the UK ....
should imigrants who come to work in the uk for long periods of time have to take a UK driving test or some basic version of it to ensure they actualy can control a car on UK roads and know what traffic sighns etc mean
i only ask because last night a car shot through a red light at express gifts forcing me to break hard and narrowly missing the froont of my car
the offending car had polish number plates which leads me to think that either the guy was a F ing moron or that in poland a red light means go
somone in a previous post rasied the question as to where we stand if one of these people was in an accident and what if any precautions were in effect to ensure that imigrants actualy have adequate insurence or actualy hold a driving licence and cant just dissapear back to poland to avoid prosecution
ime not gainst anyone coming here to work especialy at a dump like express gifts but if they are going to be on our roads for a long period of time i think they should have to take some kind of UK top up test
i dont know what driving tests are like in other countries but ours has got a lot harder to pass with a theory test ontop of a practical test and now the new advanced course you can take after a test called pass plus which teaches you how to use motorways which i personaly think should be compulsary
i am not saying every foreighner should take a UK test as peopel all over the world drive abroad on holidays etc but if you are going to be a long term resident i think a UK test or somthing is in order
