anyone noticed how L drivers are getting worse than ever

Yup, followed one yesterday between Bedford & Shefford on the A600.
Peaked at 40 in a 60 limit in the middle of the rush hour (17:30) and was all over the place.
Were I an instructor I would not have taken that person out on a major road before they had at least learned some driving skills.

We also have a LOT of them where I live as the South Essex (Basildon) test centre is 1 mile from home.
So we get hordes of them come from all over South Essex to practice U turns and reversing around corners in all the local housing estates. Makes driving home into an obstacle course.
We all had to learn but so many of them don't seem to have the slightest clue so IMHO should not be driving, even whilst supervised.

I still remember my first lesson.
After having stalled the car a couple of times trying to get moving, we finally got on the way - First, second, third gear and then the instructor told me in not too gentle words to slow down because I was already doing 70km/h in a 50 zone. 
Two lessons later he took me out on a twisty road out of town to teach me how to drive fast without killing myself. 
In those days there was no speed limit on country roads you must know.
Speed limits weren't introduce until the 1st oil crisis and despite the rubbish they try to tell us today not to save lives but only to save fuel!

The most creative driving I have ever seen is in Singapore. I'm sure Frenchbiker and others out there will back me up on this one. How there are not continual accidents 24/7 I do not know, they must simply use the force.
