Rookie drivers are far too busy taking in the many signs, the many other road users, all the while controlling their own vehicle, to bother them with yet another rather involving task. |
Then maybe people should take two driving classes: the first would be the standard school to get them driving and they would get a license for 5 years. After that time they would attend an advanced driving course (including ecodriving, handling in extreme situations and more safety precautions). The course would be mandatory in order to have your license renewed after the first 5 years.
