Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

1w woulo Phil Maguire feel if a Jck pulled into the kerb and him round the head with its arside mirror "sufficiently to ove it" while he was standing the pavement? Or say he ts a car driver forced off the ad by a lorry turning left from iide street? ("Is the test too ugh?" CM 7-13 Nov).

I'm sorry Phil, but driving in ?. real world is much harder an a test. You may well be owed 15 minor faults on test, t any one of them could suit in a fatal accident in the al working world, The test as it stands, in my inion, is woefully lacking in ality. To back this up think of a it vehicle, say a small daybbed straight six-speed unit .h windows all round coupled a minimum-length flatbed iiler weighing, say, 10 tonnes You pass your test in this in find yourself at the wheel a full-size 16.speed sleeper h limited view coupled to a 6rn trailer 4m high, grossing t4 tonnes.

We may be short of drivers we cannot lower the test ndard or the entry age! an Goakl,
