Slighty OT
The whole thing about P platers being shit drivers IMO is total bullshit... I recon its more to do with the fact that they go out more or drive later at night that contributes to the higher crash rate... not necceassrily because they are crap drivers. I say this because in direct contrast you see every day drivers who you wander about how they got their license, they have no IDEA about road rules or they just cant control their vehicles. One example just today of TWO license holders that have no idea....
There is this truck abit behind me, catching up very quickly despite me doing 80 in a 70 zone, and this truck happens to be 'towing' two cars (So thats great if he needs to suddenly stop!). This car with an elderly driver then begins to merge INTO the truck, like middle of his car into the front of the truck, luckily he was beeped and then violently swerved away which could have caused another accident.. all of this at 80km/h so if thier was an accident it would have almost certainly resulted in a fatality as the car would have been spun around into either on coming or following traffic which were both prity tightly packed at 80km/h.. All in all though, two full license holders, both in the wrong.... one example of many in a single days driving (Just had to mention another, although abit more 'safer', on the M5 some again elderly guy changing lanes without checking their blindspot... dunno bout other people but when doing 100km/h but I like to thoroughly check cos at that speed theirs a high chance that it will be good buy world if you hit someone and lose control)
EDIT: Yes I was doing 80km/h, but all traffic was because the conditions werent bad and the speed limit for that area shoudlnt be 70km/h IMO, and I am not a truck that weighs fully loaded 4 tonnes.
