Attitude
You are following a car showing L-plates that stalls and is slow to move off at a junction. What is the best attitude?
- Be patient and give the learner time and spaceCorrect
- Sound your horn to make them get going
- Drive close behind to pressure them forward
- Overtake sharply the moment they stall
Why?
Rule 147 asks you to be understanding and patient, as other drivers may be inexperienced. A learner displaying L-plates is still practising, so hold back, stay calm and give them the time and room they need.
