I hope the first car i buy to be an electric one. We'll see how that turns out though.
I personally think adding a few extra boundaries to the learning to drive experience is a necessity.
If you sat someone down and said;
Right, well, this here is a 1 ton mass of metal and rubber which is going to be travelling at over 30 metres per second in that general direction. We want you to sit in it while it hurtles down the road and make sure it doesn't hit anybody. Off you gooooooooo!
I would say what the hell, don't you need some sort of lengthy qualification to do that?! Shouldn't i pass a CRB style check up first?!
The sort of people we allow to get in a car and drive away is ridiculous.
Only RAF pilots should be allowed to drive cars, clearly.
