    The biggest issue is not braking in time. Everywhere you see people swerving to avoid pot holes, other vehicles, etc. If you go to any driving school, the brake is always under the control of the tutor & the learner never learns how to use the brake.
    It is high time that learner's are given full control of the car during the last phase of their training. The test should be made more stringent so that if the applicant fails 3 times, the driving school or the instructor has his certificate cancelled.
