    My favorite part
    Most felt the questions were commonsense or not related to being safer.
    “The questions are just stupid. They are things you’ve known since you were five [...]They’re all common sense.”
    The road code is supposed to be simple and common sense. If it is not, there is something wrong with the law.

    The questions don’t help driving safety. What’s a blue cat’s eye? Fire hydrant.
    Who can take blood? Who is responsible for telling someone under the age of 15 to wear their seatbelt?
    Newsflash. Road code deals with legal issues arising from driving too. Such as who is responsible if a passenger went right through the windshield in a crash.
    Who is at fault if your car got towed after being left in front of a fire hydrant or blocking the entrance into my driveway. Boo f*cking hoo.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    I can still remember how much fun it was to first drive... it wasnt a means of transport from a-b... it was freedom and power.
    Every road is a race track, every road user is a racer... cops cant catch me and I cant die.

    shit it was fun... back to subject, I sat my class6 last year after a 2 day swat... was too easy (dont know why I waited so long (16years)) restricted was easy too and now I can go for my full... but I cant be bothered... yet

    Driver testing has become a joke. The old hands, Police, MOT and ex-members of both, could tell within 400 metres if a driver had what it took. Now they've tried to make testing as objective as possible so that trained apes could be Testing officers.
    Then they went and hired them.

    Even the testers reckon the tests are too easy.

    Most telling comment

    (Driver Licensing operations manager Gerard Clark) said the company would investigate Mete's 11-minute test but he "would expect" that all 13 assessment requirements had been filled. "We can quite easily find out from the test paper that's handed in."

    So, if the paperwork's been filled in , that's all right then. I wonder is soon people will be able to take the practcial test over the Internet. Just fill in the paperwork, right?
