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?

    I started on mopeds, then scooters then motor bikes then a car. With common sense driving is pleasurable and safe. Any input in school is to be encouraged...saving lives and injuries and keeping down insurance costs can benefit us all

    If they come out of school knowing how to read, they can read the highway code for themselves. Isn't it better to give them a basic education?

    After all how many employers want someone with gcse's in flower-arranging? even though it helps the schools to meet their 'targets'?

    Oh...and am I the only one who might think that the comments by JXIJX NJXHX from 8XNUX8N8X8X are somewhat disturbing. Consider the facts. He made the effort to post a comment. then did he post a readable opinion, no he wrote garbage. Just think what kind of personality this indicates. And remember the next time you are driving along with your children in the car there could be someone just like him driving behind you, or worse, driving towards you.

    No it would not help at all. We need a complete change of the Law. By the time we have passed our driving test or sooner, we all know what safe motoring is about. People who do not drive safely are people who do not care about others. They do not give a damn. They are going to drive when, how, where and as fast as they like. They do not think they will get caught and even if they did the penalties would be laughable. Make the penalty for unsafe/dangerous driving a deterrent. 10 yrs prison and lifelong ban for driving when drunk/drugged or dangerous driving. Lesser but still stringent penalties for lesser offences. Vehicles crushed in every case. A total ban on any vehicle capable of exceeding the speed limit. No one in Britain needs a car that can go faster than 70mph. Says it all realy. We should remember that people who drive dangerously or drunk/drugged are not doing so in ignorant innocence. they are doing it because they want to and they do not care. Driving offences of the "dangerous, drunk/drugged, speeding" etc. variety should be treated as criminal offences. They will never be taken seriously otherwise.
