A “normal” 10-15 drive is an admission of the short distances so many cars are used for.

This one reminds me of those planes on roundabouts taking to the air near centres of production e.g. Grangemouth (beside road but good swoop) or Thornaby.
There’s definitely a point or two to be had for “how on Earth did he manage that??” in the positioning.

Instead, we get a half measure that assumes that maturity is purely linked to age and develops at the same rate in people.
As we’ve seen previously, grieving individuals frequently do not make for good legislators.
All of this can be controlled via driver ID systems that should be built into every car – engaging safe mode if it believes the driver (of any age) is hooleying around. I don’t see much point, as things stand, in giving the police something else to try to look out for.
