I agree, so why should there be 'special' rules for student ppls' when the risks are blindingly obvious? Are ppl students less capable of assessing such risks?

And this statement is based on? You are at risk of getting the totally wrong idea of my position re this. Would you have taken action if you knew this guy was flying with so much disregard? (if you choose to answer this point I suggest going over to the other thread.
