- Quite, but is the test really to blame? Most people say that you learn to drive
- one way for the test, and learn to drive properly afterwards.

- Why shouldn't there be regular testing, and anybody who fails to meet the
- standard is automatically banned. This should introduce a similar standard,
- and method of driving across all drivers, instead of the current situation
- where everybody drives however they want because they haven't been
- brought up to a unified standard.
