🛑 Treating Learners With Respect & Patience

🚸 Remember — You Were a Learner Once

It’s easy to forget what it was like starting out behind the wheel.
But every Learner (‘L’) and Provisional (‘P’) plate on a car is a reminder:

“This driver is still learning — and learning includes making mistakes.”


🙏 What Learners Really Need

  • Space to think and react

  • Patience from other drivers

  • Understanding that they may be slow, cautious, or unsure

They’re building skills — just like we all had to.


🚦 Real Story from the Road

As a driving instructor, I’ve seen it countless times:
A learner hesitates slightly at a T-intersection
The driver behind gets impatient, overtakes on the wrong side of the road — and almost causes a head-on collision with an oncoming car.

❗ Ask Yourself:

Is it worth risking someone’s life to save just a few seconds?


🧠 A Quick Reminder

When you see an ‘L’ or ‘P’ plate:

  • Back off and give them space

  • Don’t honk — it only adds pressure

  • Be patient — they’re doing their best


❤️ Drive With Empathy

Every confident driver on the road today once struggled with:

  • Stalling at lights

  • Rolling back on hills

  • Finding the right gap to turn

  • Feeling nervous under pressure

Help make the roads safer by being the kind of driver you wish others had been for you.
