i honestly think they need to make driving students go through more training, as being recently passing my test etc in the last couple of years (and seeing my bro do it) i think their system is crap... cars can be driven both safely and dangerously at such high speeds (160km/h) etc.... that is my opinion alone...
student drivers need to be made to have a COMPULSORY training event with those gravel tracks, and wet road things (my mind has gone blank as to what theyre called...) oh thats it... Advanced Driver training....
i think they should be made to do burnouts in various conditions etc, taught how to do them, and how to control them !!! taught what happens when u swerve at high speeds.... etc etc. get some real training into these people and they not only become safer drivers, but they also KNOW how easily the car can become out of control!
unfortunately, it takes a lot of us (including me) to learn how quickly that can happen.
