To all the patient drivers out there—thank you.
You know who you are. You're the ones who leave plenty of space behind a learner driver, wait patiently on hill starts, don't blast on the horn when they stall, and give a reassuring wave to let them know everything is okay.
You might not realise it, but those small acts of patience and kindness make a huge difference. They help build confidence and create a safer, less stressful environment for people learning to drive.
From driving instructors, parents, and everyone supervising learner drivers—thank you. We really appreciate you.
To those who tailgate learners for driving at the speed limit and overtake dangerously, sit too close on hills, or sound the horn the moment something goes wrong, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you always find bird p**p on your car after every wash.
A little patience and understanding go a long way.
Be the reason a learner gains confidence, not the reason they lose it.
This video was taken last year, and is just one example of the things we see every day teaching someone a life skill.
