Can anyone explain why most people who play sports try to be better at it and practice grip, stance ,swing and generally try to be better each time they play their chosen sport BUT once let loose on the highways and byways with IMO very basic skills if any and never undertake any further training to improve their skills and seem to quickly develop bad habits like poor posture behind the wheel,steering 1 handed with the hand anywhere on the wheel and the other on the gear stick when they won't be changing gear anytime soon,sitting waaay back with the arms straight etc.
Sadly many will "teach' their offspring to drive after have sitting in vehicles watching what they do for say 15 odd years
It seems to me that the government is happy to keep doing the same thing over and over by increasing penalties and top up the coffers and expect a different outcome BUT sadly lacking the internal fortitude to toughen up the test criteria to weed out many that are simply unsuited to controlling a 1 ton plus machine that has killed more than all the world wars combined.
