so these guys and ladies:
take this "special motor test".........pay out loads probably!!! spend weeks learning to drive a powerful car!!!!
they buy a Porsche........ they go speeding home (as they can now (apparently handle the power) or they dont speed home etc!!!
but some old lady in a 106 crashes into the back of her at a round about!!!! or pulls out in front!!!
what the hell!!!
pointless in my opinion!!!!!!
its not just the person driving the car or the car.....its also everyone else on the roads you have to be carefull about...shouldnt be a "special motor test" to see if you can drive a powerful car...should be to "understand the road more and pick hazards out before they might happen and then everyone should take that test!!!!"
sorry
naps

I see it as a good idea, as so many people buy a powerful car and assume they've got the skills to drive it. This wasn't the case of the bugatti driver, he was just driving like a total muppet according to reports, such as 100mph in a 60 zone. Not surprising he crashed it really. A high performance test could be implemented, and must be shown when say renewing tax or insurance. At least if people understood how to drive instead of assuming they can, the roads should be a bit safer from lunatics!
With your points on hazards, the original test needs to be improved to include more awareness. The problem isn't just with new drivers though. Loads of idiots seem to think as they have a nice fast car, they can tailgate, and there are thousands of drivers who are totally oblivious to whats going on around them!
