Not sure of taking the wee wee, yes I guess we all make mistakes during our driving career, then we have those who have absolutely no idea of what is in the HC, boring! Well each to their own.

Think they are a good driver! sadly a lot of morons think they are............

I have been driving since 69 when I obtained my HGV3 and eventually HGV1, Never had a ticket for anything, so I think I am a pretty good driver.

You mention a boring book, I guess you are referring to the HC, well without looking, can you tell us the rules on a box junction, as far as I can see, most on the roads have absolutely no idea, perhaps they should have another read up on this boring book.

Then again your comments could be tongue in cheek.

I think the only people who shouldn't be on the road are those who have absolutely no interest in driving well. We all start out inexperienced and we all make mistakes, even if we've been driving for years. I can't stand the idea of other people judging someone for one mistake and believing that person should have his or her licence revoked for it.
Some people, however, think being able to make the car stop and go and steer vaguely in the right direction is all that matters, then they can get on with texting their mates and eating their breakfast or whatever else they want to do in the downtime that is driving their car. I encounter a woman like this in a black Ford Puma every morning and evening. One day she was sounding her horn and swearing at a guy in a red Volkswagen Polo who was keeping a yellow box clear, then she drove round him and blocked it herself. People like this tend to either be dithering along clueless to what's going on or getting stressed out and aggressive and they have no understanding of the most basic traffic rules.
Others who have no interest in driving well are the maniacs who see driving as a competition and think that all that matters is being able to drive flat out all the time. They don't want to drive safely or according to the law because they think they're too good for that.
No matter how bad people are or how many mistakes they make, if they want to improve, there's hope for them because they have the right attitude.

This just reiterates my comments about those who have absolutely no idea about the rules concerning box junctions.
