  I’ve never even considered that, but it is wild. Like those grandmothers who have spent 60 years driving tiny little cars and then one day their family gets them a fucking tank to drive around in and they suddenly start putting everyone’s lives at risk because they have zero experience behind the wheel of a vehicle that’s at least double the size of what they drove their entire life beforehand.

    Good point. Let’s make every new passer drive an old banger for a year - I’m absolutely fed up of monkey-lipped young girls forcing me to my side of the road because they can’t fucking negotiate the width of their fucking tractors!

    Sorry for the rant, but I drive a classic - and it fucking riles me - every day ! I used to enjoy driving - now it’s a daily nightmare.

      What does monkey-lipped mean, I’ve literally never heard that phrase?

        I’m just having a pick at the fashion of overly botoxed lips.

  @GreatAlbatross @DeathWearsANecktie to be fair you cannot drive on a motorway until you pass and then once you pass you can go straight onto it unattended.

    You can use the motorway with a an accredited driving instructor before you pass.

    The motorway can be an odd one too: The speeds are higher, but they can be one of the safest ways to drive.

    Afaik, the reason motorways don’t feature on the test, is that some test centres are 50 miles or more away from one
