Should safe driving be put on the national curriculum?

With road accidents the biggest cause of death among 15 to 24-year-olds, there is a move to put safe driving on the national curriculum. Do you think motoring safety be taught at school or left to the experts at driving schools?

    How bloody ridiculous. It will have the same effect as giving sex education lessons to younger and younger children, has no one noticed how as the younger the age has become the younger the children that are getting pregnant becomes. Didn’t this government introduce ‘citizenship’ lessons to help our young miscreants become better citizens! Like that has really worked hasn’t it! Now let’s teach them to drive at school oh sure I can imagine just how this will turn out, it will be just as successful as sex education and citizenship. What they need is lessons in self discipline, self respect, and respect for others, surprisingly they will also need the ability to communicate in English (just look at any number of these posts for examples of that).

    By the standard of some of the comments on here...
    How about teaching them the three R's first. When they do that to a reasonable standard then think about adding other things.
    Neither for or against!

    Both driving ability lessons as well as vehicle maintenance would be a terrific incentive to enjoy the lesson and help to understand what can go wrong mechanically and the results of stupid and careless driving....also a complete course in resuscitation and first-aid skills are vital for would-be Drivers....as are the weekly car checks for safety care....
