Quite, but is the test really to blame? Most people say that you learn to drive
one way for the test, and learn to drive properly afterwards.

Why shouldn't there be regular testing, and anybody who fails to meet the 
standard is automatically banned. This should introduce a similar standard,
and method of driving across all drivers, instead of the current situation
where everybody drives however they want because they haven't been
brought up to a unified standard.
