I find the majority of drivers, especially male, who have been driving
for 10 years or more, no matter how many points, or writeoffs they have
produced, think they are actually a good driver, as long as they haven't
been banned, been jailed for a motoring offence, or actually killed
someone.
One ****** at work, served time and a ban for totalling his Celica GT4
(which happens to be what I drive) a few years ago by speeding and
losing it (and you have to go some to lose a 4x4 hatch on dry tarmac) in
a residential street and taking out a passenger coming the other way,
but causing no fatalities.
As soon as his ban was lifted (he applied for an early lifting because
of the prison time to avoid a retest), he went out and bought a Porsche
Boxster that he had been saving for all the time he was banned. And yes
he still drives like a muppet, has no sympathy for his vehicle, and
doesn't get anything fixed until it physically breaks, rather than when
you can tell there is wear and tear.
