In Italy prospective car drivers are required by law to sit for a rigorous computerised driving test, like airline pilots and navigators, before they are allowed to drive a vehicle on their busy roads. They are taught to slow down habitually when driving through residential areas, and at the sight of pedestrians.

Not so in Malta. Our number of motorcycle accidents has doubled in one year, many being fatal. Overcrowding entails improved discipline in driving, and the habitual use of indicators, hazard lights and dipped lights towards oncoming traffic.

Would it be a wild guess to say that many of us car drivers would fail a new driving test?

Discipline on our roads is essential.
