RE: https://chaos.social/@Zwiebeltuete/116608290791750064

#Germany wants to make getting a #drivingLicence cheaper and easier - currently DE has thorough #DriverEducation, with required classroom theory lessons, more complex theory exam than in UK and compulsory special drives in particular conditions (such as at night, on motorway)

New plans are closer to how its done in #UK and other #European nations (they also allow private practice on L plates which was previously verboten) and claim to "reduce bureaucracy and costs" on #DrivingSchools - but it seems quite rushed and sudden, and ironically many folk in UK are lobbying for our #driver training to be closer to German practice! (such as introducing the drives in special conditions)

BTW Cost of learning to drive in UK is reaching equivalent of 3000€ for todays learners

Warnings issued after surge in Queensland roadside close calls
By Tobi Loftus

Flashing lights on the roadside should mean one thing, but the RACQ says many drivers are not following their safety obligations.

Back home after 3 day working trip to launceston.

I'm sitting on cruise control at 109km in a 110kmh overtake zone, and seriously, the number of 4WDs I see accelerating in the rearview mirror to try and pass me from too far behind and just about drive me off the road because the lane is ending and I need to merge….

Tasmanian drivers need to chill the fuck out and slow down. The highway has overtake lanes most of the way down within 5kms of each other. Just do the speed limit and wait for the next one, you can scream past me doing 130kmh then.

Nothing is more satisfying while driving in the #DMV than to come upon the Jacka$$ driver (who rode your bumper for miles and then attempted to engage in warp speed around traffic) at the red light 1/2 mile later. 🤣 Except maybe if they were pulled over by police for speeding. You’re only wearing out your brakes faster, not saving any commute time. Would it help to put #DriverEducation back in high school? 🤔
