How can somebody that just got their license be so damn clueless?

I support driving tests every five years in theory alone. In practice, the system simply doesn't work.

I think that the quality of teaching is terrible nowadays with people like Jimmy Fong teaching young people how to drive when "indicator" or "road manners" are yet to enter his vocabulary...

Perhaps inflammatory, but I just think it's a concern...
I avoid the suburb one over from me on a Saturday morning.

It's like trying to negotiate traffic in Delhi or Mogadishu.

Forty percent of the drivers are totally clueless, and downright dangerous
