What occurred to me was that there are many people out there who, presumably, have passed their driving test yet are incapable of driving sensibly or, worse, couldn't give a toss.

My late father-in-law used to say that there is no such thing as a road accident. Everything one way or another, he maintained, can be attributed to human activity from arrogant or careless driving to failure to maintain one's vehicle.

Hi

Many agree, they used to be recorded as RTAs, accidents.

Some, a very few, are genuine accidents.

Awful and such a beautiful horse.

What do people learn in driving schools nowadays ? I was taught to take great care around horses and horse drawn vehicles and Im not that old..
