Even as an old fart I felt quite offended. Another cheap shot by the powers that be at car enthusiasts
Sadly, I listen to that crap at work. It went so downhil after Steve Jackson was fired!
So Ive heard the advert. If you interpret it like that then thats up to you. Its not blaming car enthusiasts persay, just young people who drive like nutters. As the statistics suggest its inexperience that counts for a percentage of accidents. (Well 46 in a 30 may not be too bad)
We have 2 apprentices at work, (both 19) who both claim to be "fucking Excellent drivers" Despite having multiple accidents and not apparently learning from them. And tbh, they scare the shit out of me. So much in fact I wont accept their offer of "I'll take you round the block so you can see what my cars like" Theres thousands of people like that, and whilst a timely warning isnt likely to have an effect on teeh majority, if 10% take heed it will be much better for everyone.
