My missus passed her test back in May and since then I haven't really been out in her car with her until recently over Christmas so I could have a drink. All I can say is that I was terrified, she's managed to pick up more bad habits and dangerous tecniques in 8 months than most people do in 10 or 20 years of driving. She drives too fast and goes round bends and islands even faster, at least for the weather conditions over the christmas period, she keeps her foot down to the last second when approaching traffic lights or backed up traffick before breaking hard etc etc.

And to think, I used to get annoyed with my ex-partner because she'd been driving for 15 years and she still used to drive like she was taking her driving test.
