What kind of test did road maniacs pass?

I AM doing the driving test next month, but I wonder if I am facing the same test that some drivers in this country seem to have passed.

Maybe I’m wrong, but reversing around a corner while holding a mobile to one’s ear sounds like grounds for immediate failure - and yes, I saw someone doing exactly that the other morning. Isn’t 30mph the speed limit in a 30mph zone - and not 80, as I witnessed in near-icy conditions before Christmas?

And surely overtaking two cars simultaneously while approaching a dangerous bend on a continuous white line is illegal? When six people die in horrific crashes on a single day - as happened on Saturday, December 18 - it’s no longer a surprise.
