Or sitting in traffic with the LED brake lights blazing away!!

I'd agree, but I'd add that in driving - like most things- the silent majority really do want to do their passable best, and would prefer not to create any trouble and strife. It's the arrsehole minority that issteadily on the rise.


No, you have a far better chance on UK roads than you do on those of most other countries. The only caveat is that if (as I believe) aggressive and dangerous driving are on the increase then our stats will deteriorate. That will still leave us better than most places, but isn't a good thing.

Having an advanced license it's amazing the things you don't know or do when you go beyond just a 'car' license.

There is no advanced licence though various organisations offer an advanced qualification.

I'd agree that being trained by an advanced driving instructor teaches you a whole host of things you didn't know, and would (and have) recommend it to anyone, but sadly most people are perfectly happy just to "pass the test" when they ca go back to driving with theirhand resting on the wheel at 6 o'clock, most mean well but have no real interest in whether their driving could be improved.

By advanced i meant beyond a car license eg HGV, PCV etc

OK, well I would recommend doing an advanced driving course, with a reputable provider, for everyone.
