From A. M. Clay
My father taught me to drive in the late 1930s, and his warning of potential dangers included the consequences of rain on roads that had been dry for ages (13 September, p 9). I warned my own children about the same thing. Surely I cannot be alone?
The written part of the driving test in the UK should include this topic, and the penalty for not knowing should be failure. It’s a pity that “knowing” doesn’t necessarily result in drivers taking it seriously.
