I have an article somewhere from 'Car' I think arguing that every learner driver should have a lesson in an Austin 7.
It went along the lines of better road awareness, planning ahead, reading the actions of other motorists and feeling a little vulnerable, rather than being cocooned in a modern and believing that you can do whatever speed your right foot can achieve without any danger and that if you do hit something then all parties will bump off each other and go on their merry way since all cars use F1 technology which can hit barriers at 150mph without so much as a bruise to the driver.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
