I do not hink all Kompressors are automatic and if in drive it will not roll back so it must have been manual. On Learner permit holders who are inadequate drivers, I believe that there are now a considerable number of drivers on the road who are finding it extremely difficult to atain the test standard. The problem is mostly relating to poor motor skills and swithcing to automatic transmission may be the answer to gaining a licence. Drivers who have been on the road for a long number of years and who have not passed the driving test are often driving without using the mirrors to any great extent. This translates to poor awareness of what traffic is following behind. It very discourteos to hold up following traffic like the driver of the trailer did. This also leads to frustration and anger for following drivers. I was led to this board while researching how many automatic cars are on Irish roads. Does anybody know.

How many car wrecks of fatal crashs in the newspaper have L plates on them? the only reason why so many people fail their test is because it is completely unrelated to current driving conditions. current driving conditions state that speed signs list the min speed allowed not the max.tailgating and beeping for anyone causing the loss of 10 secounds of valuable time is encouraged. about 10% of cars adhere to driving test rules.the rest of us just throw off the l plates and drive whatever way we want pretending we are expert drivers.
