Random Irritations

Allegedly the replacement cards have a different stock number to those that go out with new phones and they can't override the system.

A sim card is almost pointless these days, the only reason they have them is to keep an eye on people and make sure your billed correctly

Apple want to do away with them, and have virtual SIM cards to save space in the phone

Can be done. Think how much you can do now

Phone companies block it

Yet our £500-1000 super computers in our hands are limited by a tiny bit of plastic

To be fair, that is a reasonably important part of it....

Reckon the examiner would be a tad nervous...

Are examiners more inclined to fail them when that happens?

I guess it depends if they drive them properly. BMWs don't have mirrors or indicators, and Range Rovers park on the pavement.

They're definitely more likely to be twitchy when it comes to using the wheel or handbrake to get out of trouble because they dont have the dual controls.
The problem they have is that they have to let the kids make the mistakes, they cant put them right on the way round.
So they've little assistance if something goes wrong.
One of the reasons I dont want to do it!

I was meaning more in the realms of human nature looking to bring them down a peg. Your point is the practical and very real answer, but less fun ?

Actually they quite like it if the kid is a decent driver.
X5s and Jags tend to be a bit more comfy than small hatchbacks
