Drivers warned that getting frustrated with learner drivers could result in a £2,500 fine

Don’t beep your horn – Road users often rev their engine or toot their horn at learners in frustration; not only is tooting your horn in aggression not allowed, it can also be really disruptive and unsettling for learners trying to focus on the road.

Being patient can allow them to learn from their mistakes and become better drivers, while aggressive behaviour towards learners can really set them back in their progress and crush their confidence.

Allow time for your trip – With the bank holiday traffic, tensions might be high if you have places to be and you encounter a learner going at their own pace and holding you up.

So plan ahead, and leave more time for your trip, avoiding too much frustration at the traffic or the learner drivers you come across.
