Piquéd

Former triple Formula One motor racing champion Nelson Piquet has been sent to driving awareness school - for repeated speeding and parking offences.

The Brazilian lost his licence after racking up too many penalty points.

Piquet and his wife Viviane, who also had her licence revoked, must attend a week of lessons to learn good and safe driving conduct, and then pass an exam.

Only then will Piquet - F1 champion in 1981, 1983 and 1987 - be allowed back behind the wheel.

I wouldn't want to be the test examiner when he's asked to do an emergency stop.

I just hope they teach him to indicate when pulling over into the other lane to go round a parked car! I was taught that, it seems they don't teach indicating at all these days :(

Do they actually teach driving these days?

In my opinion, NO !
