One in ten drivers “bump and run”

Apparently, one in ten U.K motorists has collided with a parked vehicle and driven off, according to the BBC. One in ten!!

If true, I reckon ten percent of U.K. motorists should probably have their driving licenses confiscated.

I have to say, I’ve thought for ages that the focus on technical proficiency in the driving test was misguided. It isn’t incompetence that causes the largest number of problems on the road, it’s peoples’ attitudes, so what we really need is a psychological test, rather than trying to beef-up what was already a perfectly good proficiency test.
