Can you be too careful? We have seen an incredible rise in the costs of Driving Lessons in Milton Keynes, passed onto individuals and companies alike, in funding the state run HSE (health and safety executive). Are we really so scared that we’re prepared to pay through the roof for such a service?

Is this right? Whilst there can be no serious argument that living and working in a safe and secure environment is preferential, society as a whole seems to have got it into it’s head that no one should ever be injured or killed ever - and damn the cost in making it so.

It is a fact that accidents happen, they always have and always will. So rather than running the expense of a massive state led safety gestapo, it must surely be time to return to the days of self responsibility, taking account for our own health and safety.

To that extent, and as an example of how far we’ve gone in the UK on our paranoia of injury, learning to drive in the UK has evolved from what was a common sense driving test, to a written exam, hazard awareness test, car maintenance as well as a tightly marked practical examination.

Addressing the need to produce safe drivers surely has to be balanced against the cost of producing them. It is already an expensive exercise to learn to drive. Those doing so are also young, often not earning and are most likely the people least likely to be able to afford lessons.

Down under, Australia has a far more typically pragmatic approach to driver safety. Rather than making new learner drivers spend a fortune (it’s still expensive mind) on unneeded testing, they are forced to highlight to other road users that they are inexperienced drivers by having to display bright green P plates on their vehicle for two years from passing their test. The costs of which a couple of dollars. The P in this case refers to the fact that a new driver is only given a provisional license until they are deemed experienced enough to be full drivers.

If it was the case that the UK had a sparkling safety record on the roads (compared to other EU countries we are low on the safety record despite the new test regime) then there may be an argument for the costs of all those additional parts to the driving test. The fact of the matter is the HSE and DVLA have systematically put in place systems and procedures which, whilst creating marginal improvements in safety, have generated themselves millions of pounds. Call me cynical but it smells of another stealth tax rather than a concerned effort to make driving safer.

Experience is the only genuine way to become a better driver. Of course, some things will always go wrong, accidents do happen and although this is of course not good news, is a hard fact of life. We are never going to eradicate this so let’s cut out these needless costs.
