Default Novice driver's have reduced perhipheral vision

Study shows that the novice driver's see less compared to more experienced. Novice drivers have a lot more to be aware about, due to the lack of using those functions. Speed, steering, signals brakes, other cars. It's a lot of stuff to cram into the gray matter at one time. Probably would be a good idea to ban the use of cell phones for those with little experience, if not everyone. I guess, that makes me a bad person for tailgating those cars with that big yellow sign saying "Student Driver." Actually...I'm just giving them more "experience."

In my car I always fly by those training vehicles... I'll make illegal passes, not signal, just do it as bad as possible... In hopes that I've taught them how not to drive... How I see it is the instructor sees me doing this idiotic driving and says... Don't do that... THen I feel good about helping the youngins learn to drive... -
