Book Theory Test Today cannot emphasise enough how much the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcit will never happen to me\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 attitude makes a motorist reckless. This is the story of one learner driver tragedy…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact is people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like to be told what to do when it comes to driving. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use your mobile phone behind the wheel; don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t smoke with your children in the car, etc… As a consequence, many people will \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcchance\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 breaking the law thinking \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcit will never happen to me, I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get caught.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n

True, you might not. However, many drivers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not just talking experienced motorists here, this applies to learners too \u00e2\u20ac\u201c are learning the hard way that a complete disregard for the rules can result in tragedy. For one learner driver tragedy struck when she decided to get behind the wheel of a car despite her licence being suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learner driver tragedy<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Book Theory Test Today<\/a><\/strong> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We may not agree with them, but road rules are in place for a reason and as such, they have to be abided by. Why? How many times do you pick up a newspaper or read online about drunk drivers or those with suspended driving licences killing or seriously injuring people on the road?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

This learner driver tragedy involves the latter. Mum of two, Tori Shipman, crashed her car on the New England Highway killing her two-year-old daughter and seriously injuring her 11-month-old son, all while driving on a suspended provisional licence.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heartbreaking about this learner driver tragedy is that a moment of madness, that voice inside Tori\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s head that said \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgo on it will be OK, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the worst that can happen?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 has cost her dearly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tori herself suffered only minor physical injuries, but the gravity of what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happened will live with her for the rest of her life. The impact of her actions will never subside because she faces prosecution, potentially leaving her son motherless and leaving her with a criminal record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There are thousands of incidents like this every year, but this particular learner driver tragedy is poignant because it shows the long-term impact of making the wrong decision. At just 20 years of age, Tori has got to live with killing her daughter, seriously injuring her son and living with a criminal record.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

It was revealed by police that Tori\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s licence had been suspended a few months prior to the accident taking place. Therefore, she could have been driving illegally for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sad is that this learner driver tragedy could have been avoided if Tori had simply accepted she was not qualified to drive and unfortunately for her, she is one of many that has had to learn that flouting the rules can have severe ramifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to drive on Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s roads, do it the right way. You might be able to avoid getting caught by the law, but you could be just one wrong decision away from a terrible tragedy. Heed the warning.<\/span><\/p>\n
