ive done an advanced driving course (got an A- , which i didnt think was too bad for someone who had been driving for about 3 months on their Ps)... and its saved my life a few times already... well maybe not my life,(ive never been in that situation) but its been the difference betwen stopping clear of someone, or tapping the car in front in the wet... i reckon the government should spend less money and energy in trying to slow P platers and putting useless rules in that can be easily avoided, and just educate us kids with some advanced driving courses! cost a ****load, sure... but if they want the votes, i think itll look pretty good when you give all those new 18 year old voters a driving day... :P
