Yep - know about the berk in front syndrome
The driving test should include some off road training to include skidpan lessons. If going to crash do it eloquently!
Thing is it cannot all be taught before test time. A test pass is simply a basic minimum level that allows the driver to continue driving (without being accompanied by a 'qualified' driver) and learn whilst doing so.
which is still down to an action albeit someone elses. driving at 40 is not going to cause an accident without some kind of action involved. bearing in mind that when trains were first invented it was generally believed that the human body could not survive at speeds of over 15MPH. that is the mentality that the speed kills campaign is on similiar lines to which is complete nonsense. speed is nothing more than a contributary factor but it is highly unlikely to be the sole cause of any accident. there is always a chain of events coming together. for example, if you are on a dual carriageway at 60MPH and a tractor pulls out in front of you, you may be able to avoid it at a lower speed whereas at 60 you cant but your speed is not what caused the incident in the first place. it was the tractor drivers decision to pull out in front of you that created the problemYep - know about the berk in front syndrome
In a word yes
ABS is a neccessary "evil" on most cars but it isnt designed for todays cars IMHO it is designed for todays drivers
The average 4 x 4/people carrier driver doesnt understand what a skid is let alone what to do if it happens . Without abs there would be far more accidents because today virtually eveyone drives so the average skill level is much lower that it used to be
I pass my test (notice I don't say learned to drive)
HDI was very insightful when he realized the difference between passing and learning to drive, something IMO that so many fail to realize and understand otherwise the after test defensive and advanced training schools would be going flat out 24/7
