Do they not remember what it was like to be a learner driver themselves?
By the time my learners are on the 'big' roads, they are already capable of doing the speed limit so there is absolutely no need for other drivers to overtake and break the law!
Speed limits are there for a reason, and I wonder how many of you know what the national speed limit is on a:-
- single carriageway
- dual carriageway
- motorway
A recent example of bad driving was when a learner and I were driving along a 30 mph road with a bus lane on our left. The driver behind us decided he was fed up of doing the speed limit and undertook us using the bus lane as we approached a set of traffic lights. We cruised up in the lane next to him and overtook him on our green light...... the hare and the tortoise story springs to mind!
So, according to the news recently it seems that new rules are coming into force next year where police will be able to enforce on the spot fines of £100 for bad driving. Perhaps if driving instructors were able to enforce these fines too, we would have much more respect on the roads! After all, we are out there witnessing all sorts of bad driving all day and every day!
