In N. Ireland - the display of an 'R' plate is mandatory for one year after passing a test. |

I do recall when I was quite a "new" (although I'd been riding motorcycles for several years) car driver in the early seventies, driving the firms van, and was out to a breakdown when I was held up,at a VERY busy Junction, |

Yes Scozz, straight away. I believe there is a choice of whether or not to use the green P plates but most young people are so arrogant they won't bother. I think they are good because seeing a P plate means you will expect the unexpected with an inexperienced driver. |

Do you mean that when new drivers in the UK pass the test they're let loose? |

I have watched that programme before now and seen some appalling drivers but that woman who checks them out still says they are ok and gives them a car. Young people who pass their test should have to use those green plates for at least a year while they gain experience and not just use them from choice, which I think is the way at the mo. And the minute they get caught for any misdemeanour in that first year or two they should have their licences revoked and have to take a further test. Somehow many of them get round the expensive insurance problem or have parents who make things too easy for them, mainly so they don't have to ferry them about any more I suppose. |

I watch "Fake Britain" on BBC1 every morning and it's possible to get someone else to take the test for you if you're willing to pay mega bucks for it |
