Typical hazardous conditions where youngsters prang their cars! Am I right thinking some Scandanavian countries have learning units like that?
I know PassPlus may address some of these, along with motorway driving, but many kids don't bother with the extra non-compulsary training.
And it still doesn't address all the other (older) nutters that already hold a standard licence, but could do with a refresher

Comsidering that there aren't enough hours to teach all the existing subjects in the national curriculum at present, how might driver education be included in other subjects?
History - Boudicca's chariot had blades fitted to the wheels. Discuss how this affected road safety.
Mathematics - Jonny is driving at 60mph in a residential area. What is his stopping distance in an emergency?
English - Either up level rules 1 to 10 of the Highway Code or re-write them as blank verse.
