Young men are more likely to pass the UK practical driving test first time than young females but, of course, newly qualified males are statisically more likely to be involved in a serious road accident. Experience has taught me that people, usually young men, who think they are good drivers (even those who are, in relation to the driving test very good drivers) are the drivers most likely to take risks whilst driving.

As one who recently decided against moving to the UK (I currently live in the Netherlands, a repressive traffic camera regime), I am relieved not to be sitting for the exam.

Passing the driving test, is just the beginning, and it takes years to become a safe and proficient driver.
