    I'd consider myself a very average driver and I've never had an accident/never made any claims, no tickets (except two speed cameras going 7 or 5km? over the speed limit during the holiday period, tickets a year apart and the camera vans were at the bottom of a hill gosh darnit!), no demerits, no convictions. Average.
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Unfortunately, most young people think they're good drivers but the statistics say otherwise. It's good that you're going to upgrade though.

    And how did you come to the conclusion you are so good ... ???

    Was it the (less than a) year on the road ... ???

    It is good you have learned so much in a short time. Imagine how much you could still learn over the next fourty years.

    Statistics say you wont make it though. If I could give a fuck ... I'd be inclined to put money on it.

    Prove us wrong ...

    How do you think the statistics come about? NZ has the worst death rate of 16-17 years old drivers in the world. I can look up the stats on just injury crashes etc if you want.

    people have told me (people who have been on the road for the last 30-40 years)
    the driving instructor told me so (yes i went to a driving instructor)
    I've been driving for a year, I'm not saying I'm the best, I'm just saying that I am better then alot of people that you see on the road

    One thing every shit driver I have ever met had in common was the fact they thought they were "good" drivers
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Interesting point....how many 'good' older drivers made it through driving at 17 without a crash? (or 18,19...to 24).

    I, of course was a rare driving talent from 17 years onwards

    Don't worry about the ones that crash ... don't even give them a thought.

    Just think about the ones that have died. Those are the ones ... you should think about often.

    And I would guess that Scummy has scraped more dead 17 year old's off the road ... than you have had birthdays. And most of those for stupid, idiotic reasons ... by usually (often) intelligent kids.
