Crashing Motorbike Learners

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) invented a new, brilliant idea to annoy people: the "swerve test". In this test, the rider has to reach 50 km/h (about 30mph) and swerve in a specially designed track.

What's so bad about it? It causes people to fall from the motorbike. People brake and swerve, which causes them to feel the laws of physics work against them. It's not smart, and it's not helping, especially on wet roads (which Britain certainly has).

Hopefully the DSA will understand their big mistake and cancel this test. Until then, use a helmet.

Motorists - Prepare for a New Driving Test

Until now, motorists and motorcyclists in Alberta took their driving test in a parking lot, and they were tested by their own driving school. This is now going to change. Driving tests will now be on the road, with real road conditions, and not necessarily on the same driving school.

This new system is more objective and more logical. A parking lot is nothing near a road, and taking your test in your driving school is not really objective. The new system will be much better for everyone.

Let's hope it brings only good.
