People love to forget how to use their indicators, keep left etc all too often.That pisses me off every single day. Especially the people that sit in the right lane JUST AFTER PASSING A SIGN THAT SAYS "KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING". There is no hope.Have thought about becoming a driving instructor instead of an IT guy so I can impart all the stuff that seems to get missed.My wife is a driving instructor and I may sound biased but she is a dam good one. Her student about how much they ignore as soon as they get their licence. From what I can see from the outside. The industry is set up and designed how to past the test rather than how to drive. Have seen my wife try and fight this, but students are only to pay so much. With social media you hear comments like this instructor can get you pass after x hours.

But 3000 / say 150 an hour ( no idea if that's close ) = 20 hours of labour. I'm assuming you have invoice for parts. More info needed. Or if it's just a rant I will shut up.
