🚗 The things some drivers will do to get past a learner driver!
I completely understand being behind a learner can sometimes be frustrating, especially if they’re driving a little slower than you’d like.
But honestly? Some of the manoeuvres I see while teaching are just unbelievable… and downright dangerous.
I had a driver overtake me on a country lane recently, take the corner far too wide, and end up in a tree! 🌳😳 All just to get past a learner.
I’ve also seen drivers mount kerbs, squeeze through tiny gaps, and make incredibly risky overtakes all to save a few seconds.
When you see an L-plate there’s a learner in that car still building their skills and confidence.
✅ Give them space
✅ Be patient
✅ Don’t pressure them
✅ Only overtake when it’s 100% safe
✅ A few seconds is NEVER worth a collision
We teach learners to make safe, confident decisions let’s give them the same courtesy you’d want for your own son, daughter, or loved one learning to drive. ❤️
Let them learn. Let them drive safely. And please… don’t end up in a tree trying to get past them! 🌳😂
