I might be old, but I don't see much improvement in driving standards. Look at the accident/ fatality rate for newly past drivers. 

 

 

 

Think back to the road conditions when you learnt to drive compared to what they have to deal with today.

 

Accident stats have I think improved over the years. Considering the road changes that's surprising.

 

Accident stats for old drivers is not too good either

Perhaps they do longer courses that include that for people with less experience? Not all courses are the same. 

Yes, they offered 1, 2 or 3 days, all including the test, although they did say the 1 day was really just aimed at people who had failed the test and just needed to revisit something and redo the test.

What blindly following sat navs, watching videos on their phones etc. Just drive down a dual carriageway/motorway and watch them all in the overtaking lane approach a junction at the 100m marker peel off cutting everyone up to get to the junction, that sat nav just told them to take.

This is an improvement your having a laugh. no idea of what's around them or watching the road ahead.

Sounds like a sensible sort of place offering similar to my self.

Reminds me of the roads across the moors after the Dartmoor prison farm sale.

You'd probably have difficulty convincing the magistrate after plod took you in for an insecure load, with that pic.
