Im sure people will be queueing up to do that. Its available now and no-one gives a fuck. And if your answer is that only people who take it will be able to drive fast isnt that Nanny for everyone else? You're talking pub bore shit, not politics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IAM does good work on the Island and has a regular thoroughput of riders and drivers - but as you say that's entirely voluntary. It certainly doesn't deserve the disdain of people like you and pongo. Why would you be so dismissive of a route to better driving skills I wonder? Are you a MAMIL? I've long believed that graduated licences would be a good idea, and it's a system that works perfectly in aviation. Basic licence post-test allows you to drive a modest car in daylight and good weather, extra 'ratings' allow faster cars and raised limits. Mandatory remedial training for people convicted of motoring offences. Huge fines, crushed cars and remedial training for anyone abusing the system, or driving without licence, tax or insurance.

NoTailT Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Graduated licences? Have you lost the plot again @Stu Peters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Why? Because it's too difficult a concept for you? Graduated licences would be cherished and sought after by many, a route to continuous improvement, be self-funding, create worthwhile jobs and save lives. So no, I'm not the one who's lost the plot.

To lose something, you have to have had it on the first place. Stu. Don’t waste any more brain or keyboard time on the stupid suggestion of graduates licenses. Never going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we're now being forced to enjoy being part of a multicultural global society, it probably makes more sense than learning about random arrows, 1066 and all that. Maybe fewer kids will tell incomers about that 'boat in the morning' when they grow up, so its a thumbs up from me - sorry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Sorry I don't conform to your liberal ideals by celebrating multiculturalism as an unqualified and unquestionable success. For the avoidance of doubt I'm all for inclusion and equality for all, but reserve the diminishing right to question some of the more extreme results of nu-think which have led to some unfortunate unintended consequences.

To be clear - I think you are a whopper. But seriously don’t do this to yourself. If these last few posts get out beyond the world of Manxforums you are screwed. Please don’t make it any worse.

pongo Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) The very worst candidates (and in this case those most likely to win) say to people what they think they want to hear. It's utterly crass. Howard Quayle was spot on about the poor quality of some of the candidates standing in Middle.
