OK who is with me on this one? In my opinion, the Government should make it compulsary for all new drivers to go through a Defensive Driving Course suplimented by the government prior to moving to the next stage of their licence process. With luck this should eliminate some stupid accidents occuring on our roads as of late.

I agree the defensive driving class should be done, but we, the ever generous taxpayers, shouldn't have to cover it through taxes. You pay to do your driving class/course/test, this should be no different.

Equally important is that all driving tests should be done in English only. I can't do the test in China or Thailand in English, it has to be in their language, it should be no different here.

Regardless of what some who failed test think, it is not discrimination to be failed if you are not good enough. (Friend is a driving examiner)
