Daft! Like the one guy that bought a brand new Honda Fireblade. Just walked across the street from where he got his learners and never even sat on a bike. Plaughed into the first car from the showroom.

Is he the guy in the reflection of the window?? hahaha!

lol. I saw a video taken from a VW security camera of a lady who had her license for 2 days and bought a brand spanking new polo. When she attempted to leave the showroom floor with her car, something happened and she drove straight over the island that separates the service road from the main road. You just see the on coming traffic having to slam on the brakes.

Not that I know this woman, but in her defense, I hate Merc's "Hand brakes", if you can even call them that, they just another foot brake with a hand release lever.... not sure about the new mercs, but thats the way the old mercs used to be

It is easy. If you can't handle the car stay away from it. A car is a legal murder weapon. Even if you have a lisence it does not mean that you have to drive a car which you can not control. It is just plain irresponsible.
