A student can pass a driving test, without ever having driven over 30 or 40 mph and without any experience of motorways. When the examiner has been convinced that same student then let loose on the roads with no further control or private hours required. Our simple driving test includes an arbitary eyesight test read the plate of a stationary car at a specific distance; This is a complete waste of time is highlighted by a study by Specsavers and supported by Renault. Well, did you notice the difference? From this problem Renotes has taken another step forward and will now perform color on each side. With the increasing use of color, of course, we need more high quality color images, which are those members which come. Send us your contribution, and remember Renotes is not only on older cars, contributions from members with new Renault are equally valid. On our side with the letters continues debate on speed. This debate launched by the often-quoted remark that ' speed kills ' is I think is missing the point. A more appropriate slogan would perhaps be ' inexperience kills ' for it is a fact that driving instructors for years, teaching people to pass a relatively simple driving test when really they should teach them to drive. There is a world of difference between the two. In 2002 Motor Show Specsavers conducted eye tests on 3,000 visitors and found that 738 failed basic vision test, which meant that they were running illegally. Save you work it, it is 25% or in every fourth one! Perhaps it is time we had a stiffer vision test on application for driving licence and all drivers to undergo regular checks by opticians.
