Thanks, Martin - yes, "drivers' ed" is American for driving lessons, but because the age at which you're allowed to drive in the US is below the age at which many people leave school, the classes are often delivered through schools.

I heard recently that one US state permits driving at age 14.5 yrs.

So why not get all-party agreement? Everyone knows really, it makes sense - so if all party's were committed (bit like Trident - ooooo controversial) then it could be made law. I think there are decreasing returns on road engineering, ever lower speed limits, more restriction...driver education is the only way to go!

His name gets me into the titters every time, not sure I could take him seriously if he was the one to champion it
