Personally, I'm all for 'education' - if you have decent driving instructors, but as per the Qld transport website...

'Your driving supervisor can be anyone who has held an open licence for at least one year (relevant to the class of vehicle driven). Driving supervisors must not exceed the legal blood or breath alcohol concentration level for the vehicle they are instructing you in. '

One year isn't a hell of a long time...and mistakes are sure to be made.

Legislation isn't going to fix this, or make our roads any safer.

Patience for learners is one thing, the indication from some of the metro transport departments advises that less than 50% pass rate for learner drivers tests.

I think nervousness can account for some level of 'stalling' but a failure to start a car is not a standard thing - perhaps they should bring in psych testing prior to obtaining a license? The other question that needs to be asked, is if this is 'common' as would be indicated - are we setting ourselves up for a fall?
