I think that your world being full of idiot PPL's with an IMC is nowhere near the world that the rest of us live in. In fact I think your assessment of PPL/IMC holders is pretty offensive!
My point was the the IMC is not a get out of jail free card, that instrument flight requires skill and practice. So I say again anyone who thinks that getting an IMC for this reason is seriously fooling themselves.
As I recall there have been very few incidents of IMC PPL's crashing and burning but I am happy to be corrected nothwithstanding your LFAT incident. I wonder in the case of the LFAT incident was the IMC holder actually current at IMC flight or was he just trying his get out of jail card???
But to add perspective while doing my IR training I was quoted a number of IR holder incidents of the same ilk.
It does not matter which piece of paper you have, if you are not current then it is a waste of time.
