FAQ:
Have safety advances in car/auto design outstripped the quality of driver training?
This is a question I’ve been thinking about lots. I live in the UK where the speed limit for the motorway network is 70mph. I often get into discussions where people say that this should be raised because the safety features on modern cars have improved so much. My objection to this is that the crucial component in every car (the nut that holds the steering wheel) is not up to the job.
There is no requirement in the UK for drivers to take any form of advanced training such as skid control or motorway training (though such courses are available), and no requirement for regular retesting and recertification. A person can pass their test at 17 and go out and drive anywhere at the wheel of any car and not come to the notice of the authorities unless they are caught committing a traffic offence. My own view is that this is not a sensible situation and the entire driver licencing system requires a complete overhaul.
What do you think?
Answer by UCANTCME
I would agree with you 100 percent because when I took drivers ed way back in 1972 the instructors were much harder on you because they wanted you to understand what your actions could do so they hammered safety into our heads.
Today’s drivers ed classes in my opinion are run like a assembly lines, they still teach safety but yes they have lighten up on it because of the newer vehicles and all of the safety items that they come with.

Manufacturers of automobiles advertise many safety features in vehicles, and show exciting film strips of 4×4′s crossing huge obstacles of rock, mud, whatever. They show cars with excellent brakes
BUT
They never mention that the operator of this piece of machinery must also be knowledgable about the limitations of their vehicle and themselves…
Many people have minimal skills where driving is concerned……this combined with the lack of experience in handling their vehicle under adverse or emergency conditions, often results in injury or death. Oversteering, swerving, speeding and following too close are so simple to correct with a couple of lessons and some attitude adjustment. The lessons can be easily done, but we are lazy. The attitude is the tough part. We all lack self-discipline.
THINK AND DRIVE is a good motto here…..I do agree that every driver should be re-evaluated about every 5 years and retrained if skill and knowledge levels are not up to standards.
