This is why I think the whole driving test system is wrong. Everyones lessons should incorporate all of the above, otherwise they should not be put in for their test. In feb of this year we had snow, I phoned my instructor and asked for lesson in it, which I had. If I had not had that lesson there is no way I would of been able to handle the situation to the best of my ability. The lesson gave me the confidence to be able to drive in that situation. But again it was personal choice for me to pay for a lesson after i had passed my test.
So lets say they have covered all of the above but driver A has driven in fog to about 500m visibility and driver B has driven in fog to about 50m visibility , they have both driven in fog but to two totally different extremes, when I as an instructor sign them off to say they have driven in these conditions whats the benchmark we use to make it fair? there are so many different variables with things like the weather and nothing can be forecast or guaranteed!
