Especially when making a comparison between journeys made daily.New drivers are new drivers, and any driver of any classification can tell you that you learn how to drive after passing your test. You learn how to drive to pass the test, and then you develop the real life skills of doing it in your own way - unsupervised.
Websites such as TripAdvisor have millions of reviews submitted by travellers who don't know the first thing about running a hotel or restaurant. Should we discount all of those too?
If it was two experienced drivers who were at the wheel and messing it up, maybe that would give more of a scope to comment.
I don't hold a cat D/D1 license yet, but from all the holders I know, they all say that the real learning comes from experience on the road without an instructor.
