    Has anyone seen this new reality show yet?
    Basically they fit dash cams to young driver's cars
    And with their parents and an ex police officer they
    Review their bad driving.so with people getting prosecuted
    Over youtube video's how have these people not had
    A knock at the door yet?
    The last episode was a girl that couldn't put her phone down,
    She was even updating facebook while driving then
    Driving with no hands while dancing.
    Then a young fella doing over the ton in heavy rain
    At night with plenty of traffic about.he then attempted
    To drink drive before the camera crew stepped in
    To stop him.yet if you look at latest traffic enforcement
    headlines its biker's that are the real problem.
    Wonder would their be a big kick up if they done a
    Show with bikes fitted with camera's

    I couldn't watch that. It would give me the rage. I just hope my kids dont act so fecking irresponsible when they are at the age to drive. All I can say is, if thats what the kids are like, what must the parents be like. Off camera, obviously.

    Well on camera they didn't seem to shocked and were
    Still trying to decide whether to buy them a new car or not.
    The fella that tried to drink drive was described as a lovable
    scamp by his parent's.

    watch it last night....................................
    why the hell did i get penalized for age, car i drove-/ drive, having a bike, job, area.....

    yet these Muppet seam to get away with it... i know the blame culture is the main cause fro high insurance premiums but really can we do a idiot test or something.....
    A site i go to has blockers on the FLT so when the driver get in his phone doesn't get a signal...... make young drivers car have them!!!!!.
    have a breath tester fitted to the car!!!!! just do something insurance company.
    Insure the box insurance dont seam any cheaper when i have look around.


    Yes i was young once, yes i did drive quickly and sometime acted the spoon, did i drive and text no.....drink drive no.... i had to work dam hard for Flash or even chav cars i had and i respected my car and others around it. I past my bike test at 25 because to he honest my parent dint want me to have a bike cause i was too irresponsible with speed, however right from learning how to drive i was taught to give space to other road uses, watch out for bike as there easy missed if you glance and not look. learn that back in the tractor days

    Clunk klic every trip...... turning right think bike.... what if!!!!

    All i can think is they must have money given too easy!!!! and think mummy and daddy can pay them out of anything.

    i think all young driver should have to to at least there CBT and do X amount of miles on a road as a more vulnerable road uses!!!! might drill it into " katie price range rover heads"

    do i practice this.... yep my daughter was told no CBT no driving lessons..... "oh my hair", " it so slow" ,"what will people say" don't give a FCUK.com. she is now learning to drive and realizes to give "a bit of space"

    Not sure i should watch this program again......

    tonights drivers were not as bad as the last but still bad, red lights mean go
    30mph means 50mph as others go faster so that makes it okay.
    oh and trying to drive when twice the limit....again.

    As interested as I am to see it makes my blood boil just reading about it!!

    The stupid thing is if they did a bike one they'd do it with the idiots on mopeds and give bikers an even worse name....

    We're their audience. They need a reaction. They're poking us with a stick. We're all being manipulated.

    I don't think we are, some of the driving standard are terrible, i'm far from a model driver as i do speed, do break the rules every now and then, however i know all these are classed as dangerous act!!!!!
    FFS sometimes evolution just need to take its course...

    Today i had to break hard... moving traffic someone applying something to there eyes.... dropped it... slam break on to dead stop in rush hour traffic..... idiot...... fit as hell but!!!

    last month one of my colleagues had is van head on smashed, new driver going the wrong way down a narrow one way street..... his a account is she went " mental" as she borrowed her dads car, and blamed him for going the wrong way....... 100 yard from a big road marking saying no entry and the point she'd enter the road
    Her dad offered to pay for the damage until he found out it was over a grand and half and then there was hire van charges on top..... i spoke to him to clarify what was been done and it was like we was taking the " Micheal " expecting her to be accountable and this would stop her getting a car insurance, wreck her career prospect .... blar blar blar. He also pointed out there car was a total loss......... well your not going to do well against a tyranny van in a DDS are you!!
    As i pointed out me colleges was trying to be helpful by allowing you to pay for the work instead of insisting insurance, not trying for compo for his injury and putting up with her lip....

    didn't see my point so its going though insurance company tough tits, though ford dealer and same spec van.....

    i'm not going to watch Barely legal drivers on catch up..... i wouldn't be accountable for my actions
