Highway Code

[pdv6]

In an attempt to educate the millions of numpties out there, how about introducing a Highway Code test that goes out with the VED reminders?

The VED application form would be invalid without a completed answer sheet accompanying it that attained a reasonable pass mark.

I reckon this would be easier and cheaper to implement than a repeated driving test and, although it would be open to abuse, if it forced the numpties to read the Highway Code once in a while in order to 'cheat' on the test, it has to be A Good Thing.

Obviously plenty of holes to be picked in this idea...

Sounds like a good idea in principle. As you say could be abused, but - in doing so they'd probably learn something.

"'Ere Norman why shouldn't I put my fog lights when it starts to rain?" "Haven't a clue love let's get that 1966 Highway code and find out .."

"Marge fill this in for me will you?" "Look it up yourself you idle old git, and take your flat cap off when you're indoors..."
