If you watched Sunday nights Top Gear you would have seen their very own captain slow James May turned into a half way decent racing car driver.

After just a few driving lessons from an former F1 Finish Driver.

Was this down to a faster car? Hardly James May has driven much faster cars and a much slower pace. So was it the driving instructor? Well having a form F1 driving instructor no doubt helps. But what makes so many Fins such good drivers?

In the course of the show James mentioned that from a a young age, a low a 9-12 Finish people are encouraged to get driving experience and when it comes to getting on to the road it takes them 3 years of driving lessons. Including intensive driving lessons, skid control and so on.

So what is better a healthy encouragement to learn at a young age and 3 years of lessons to make sure you can handle any situation or 10-20 UK lessons, pass your theory, pass your test and then leave you to your own devices like we have here in the UK?
