Re: Roll up, free driving lessons!
Those souped up cars you speak of are nothing but ordinary boring cars with extra plastic, big stereos and a loud backbox.
It actually makes me laugh to see all the extra weight these lads put on their cars which actually slows them down!
As for the subject of the original post, I think every child, irrespective of race colour, or creed, should be taught to drive during school. It is accepted that 90% of people will drive during their life so why not do it properly. Get some proper road sense in them early enough with an actual syllabus of what they will learn. As it is all you need to do is be able to perform half well for about 40 mins and thats it. People are left to their own devices to pick up the real driving experience.
I also personally feel that everyone should be retested every 5 years including a proper eyetest. That way some of the disgraceful standard of driving that I see every day may actually improve.
