\n Mandatory driving refreshers could cure lane hogging<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some questionable driving standards make Prior vexed, prompting him to talk mandatory refresher courses<\/p>\n

\n

On the whole, I don\u2019t like telling people what to do. Where governments have a clear choice about whether to interfere in people\u2019s lives or not, I usually think they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Overreach is tiresome and we will probably get along just fine without it, so unless it\u2019s really obvious that something needs intervention, governments should just facilitate what we reasonably want to do and otherwise leave us alone. I suppose I don\u2019t trust \u2018them\u2019 not to mess things up.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always felt this way about driving. Yes, perhaps it\u2019s daft that you can pass a driving test at 17 and barely think about your licence again until your grandchildren notice that you keep nerfing the garage door and in the meantime you can pick a car off the shelf that weighs 2.2 tonnes and goes from 0-60mph in 2.0sec without any additional training.<\/p>\n

But despite that, the UK still has the fifth-safest roads in the world, narrowly behind Japan and only marginally bettered by Norway, Sweden and Iceland, so we must be doing all right. Leave it alone.<\/p>\n

Then I took three long and utterly miserable drives last week. It was half-term, which never helps standards, but still, on a Friday evening and over a weekend, I\u2019ve never been so annoyed by the amount of dismal lane choices, poor speed choices, hopeless signalling and clear distraction.<\/p>\n

After that, I was driven around by, well, let\u2019s call him a family friend to keep him anonymous. He drives a lot, but it has been decades since his last instruction. At six roundabouts, he didn\u2019t manage to once signal correctly, and he often drove at the same speed whether on an A-road or in town \u2013 too slow on one, too fast in the other.<\/p>\n

And the more I pay attention to it, the worse I think our driving standards are getting.<\/p>\n

Bad driving, particularly when it comes to choosing lanes on motorways, is an epidemic. We\u2019re a nation of ditherers and dimwits who think that so long as we don\u2019t get nabbed by speed cameras, we must be doing things right. We\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

In a car, negotiating lines of cars steadfastly refusing to leave the middle lane and signalling appallingly at roundabouts is irritating. If you\u2019re trying to drive a lorry among these people, it must be infuriating to the point of self-combustion.<\/p>\n

And so, with a heavy heart, I think life would be improved by\u2026 ugh\u2026 intervention. A scheme. A policy. Interference. I\u2019m not suggesting that we should all have to take another full driving test, but I do think some kind of mandatory update or refresher training to remind drivers of their responsibilities would be helpful.<\/p>\n

Unhelpfully, I don\u2019t know what it would look like, how frequently it would have to be taken or what would happen if you were to get it wrong. But if every few years you had to pay attention, do a little homework and then demonstrate you understood road rules, I genuinely think it would be useful.<\/p>\n

It could be done online at home or, for those who can\u2019t, in a library. A gentle reminder.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like this sort of thing is unusual; every so often, my employer reminds me about everything from media law to how to sit in a chair properly. And training works; those who take speed awareness courses are less likely to speed again and have a significantly reduced chance of being in a collision than those who take penalty points after being caught speeding.<\/p>\n

I hate the idea that those of us who know what we\u2019re doing are judged by the lowest common denominator, and I\u2019m still not sure I believe in this idea myself.<\/p>\n

Which is probably handy, because given that your council and mine can\u2019t fix our roads, I don\u2019t suppose they have time to worry about how we drive on them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
