Yeah, that's a *very* good point! Such 'mollycoddling' simply breeds selfish, careless bad drivers, as it hides their deficiencies and encourages complacency. And anyone who confesses to liking being 'high up' on the road, and drives a huge 4x4 'bus', to facilitate that, but NEVER goes off-road, and can't park the fucking thing for toffee [HELLO brainless bints on school runs]:usually comes under that category!
