Pixie824 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I was stuck at a set of temporary traffic lights the other day for a couple of phases. Turns out there was a learner driver at the front of the queue of traffic that was struggling with a hill start. The cars behind were beeping horns and then overtaking dangerously and turning in front of the car. I felt awful for the learner, we have all been there. Had to laugh though when they finally got it and got a round of applause from whoever was giving the lesson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le-joker Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The reason we quickly get out of the way of learner drivers is because we are afraid you`re gonna ram us. Always remember van drivers are on a mission as they have lots to do, their manager is on their back and it`s not their vehicle anyway. And you know what gets my goat? these b~^*@^*$ that don`t indicate. Like, "oh, I`m too important to indicate." Well I`d really like to ram them b*%&*%$. We have to remember, "It`s a jungle out there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Mr white van man is late, that's his own fault. Set off earlier, make allowances for hold ups during your journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yea thats a very small minded view and not always the case with van drivers. They often get given 6 hours of work to complete in 5, or have to make deliveries to places that are poorly accessible or to where no-one is in. not a job I envy tbh.

Murphy Jnr Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yesterday wasted 30 min to drive 10 mph following learner in rush hours , narrow street . Stick a 'Learn Spanish' cd in your player that way you can educate yourself along the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoesme Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yesterday a learner cut me up, I’m sure it was an accident but it really angered me, so much so that I did beep at them a few times while shouting learn to drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think a more appropriate question would be, "Why do some people give no respect to other people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Hans Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Maybe in the long run it's for the best as there are so many morons on the road it's better to experience those morons first in a safe environment with a tutor by your side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
