Don't know who....... but I was behind one last night and really the person who was teaching or should I say instructing should have had his license taken away. They were hogging the middle of the road in a road with 2 lanes, then when we stopped at the traffic lights to turn right, they had one car in front of them and stopped at least 3 car lengths away from it making all of us tail back too much, so when the lights went green I made it through but the people behind me didn't..........ridiculous. I agree we have all been there and learning means you have to learn in all kinds of conditions, but I do agree that rush hour should not be a time for learners. The most likely cause is that the learner has also just finished work and wants to get their lesson in before they rest for the evening like all of us.

You and everyone else on the road had to learn to drive!! Do you remember what it was like to have that impatient driver behind you trying to overtake and causing more accidents themselves! Would you rather that there were learners out at rush hour with trained instructors or that they were simply let loose onto the roads after passing their test with no clue as to how to drive in rush hour. I personally think this would be the cause of more accidents than learners out with a qualified accompanying driver!
If everyone has a bit of patience with learners it really makes a difference to how they drive as if you stress them are more likely to stall. If you stay well back and give them plenty of room and they shouldn't cause you any problems.

in my opinion yes the learner needs to experience all types of traffic, but the pupil should not be taken onto a busy road until they are able to control the vehicle confidently in light traffic first, as if they are not able to then they are going to annoy other road users and also be a hazard plus they will not be doing their driving any good as they will be nervous at the same time and as a result will be driving badly

What is your problem? It is the best time to learn clutch control in fact I did not get it right until 24 hours before my driving test when I had to drive in the rush hour. One of the hazards of driving is that people make mistakes and as an experienced driver you have to make allowances for the ignorant the dozy or just plain stupid. The latter two apply to us all from time to time

Just a thought, but most people who are learning how to drive attend something called high school. After high school they go to driver's ed. This happens to be the time that everyone is rushing home from work. Thought I would put 2 and 2 together.

You are an absolute co*k!! How on earth someone like you got their licence beggars belief. Its people like you that probably suffer from road rage and tailgate other drivers. You were a learner yourself and I can just imagine your smarmy face sitting for your test in front of the examiner probably nervous as sh*t.
I hope that one day you end up with your licence being revoked for doing something stupid, and end up taking your theory, hazard perception and practical from scratch.

If you are a good driver, your main aim will be to get home from work safely, not quickly.
Are you one of these dicks who tailgates and leans on the horn?
I wouldn't p**s on you if you were on fire.
