Learner drivers and their instructors need shooting!
Seriously? Maybe it's you that needs shot. What a ridiculous thing to say dude. I appreciate they may have made a mistake but imagine how they probably felt!!
i was an awful learner though we did used to have compeititions to see how many cars we could get queued up behind us
MBK - hey you how you feeling chuck?? In fact hows GG and the rest feeling I forgot to ask ( slaps head and goes Doh!)

HU...you can write to your council about it if it's that much of an annoyance and request that they use a different part of the road.
TBH, if you see a learner driver/rider....your best course of action is to give them space and just be patient...anything else and it will make them nervous and cause them to stall/do something wrong. It is annoying as hell, but if an accident is caused, blame the instructor, not the learner.
That's my opinion anyway :-)

Yeh, we are ok ta! hows u?
I no, but they are being taught bad manners, things like that would fail them on their test
A learner driver is only as good as the instructor I'm afraid. My Dad ran his own Driving School and he was always hard but fair. I passed first time with him. He did have some nightmare learners - I remember a woman taking 4/5 goes to pass her test. He said she was good but would go to pieces in the test.
In our fast paced lifes sometimes you need to be a bit more patient!!!! Sorry x
YOu have to make mistake to learn not everyone is test standard at the begining besides you don't know how many lessons they had.
MBK - me wonderful it been aroller coaster week and I'm sure it not going to end just yet I'll be knackered by Friday night!

Nah, that's just silly. Unfortunately, there just aren't that many places left in the UK where learners can go to a quiet street to make a 3 point turn or parrallel park etc. Not only this, but they have to learn to do these things on the roads they will normally be using so that they get used to doing it in traffic. If they only learn on quiet roads, they would be awful drivers after passing and be nervous wrecks, not knowing what to do when a car comes along mid-manouvre.
And what just happened he would of failed
Any way im going to work where im going to get more wound up as a certain member of staff has taken a dislike to me after i disagreed with her :rolleyes: and she bought up loads of pety **** like i wear jeans and not black trousers when its not even stated in my contract what i have to wear
toodle pip
oh + tomorrow i might actualy be happy :D
And what just happened he would of failed
so what did they do?
That might have only been one of their first few lessons, took my forever to be driving at test standard!
And even on my test some sod mounted the curb while i was doing my turn in the road.... it was safe when i started nobody around
Did I mention how excited I am that I got an interview?? Soooooo excited
Hope this weeks goes really fast x lol
Good for you Amanda - Can i ask what for?!?!

50 mins to the the 5 miles to work! WOOOOOOOOO :-DGo Girl. It took me 55 mins to do my 1st journey to work (11 miles, uphill and flat) Since i have moved i havet ridden to work.
Good morning all!!!
Its POETS day!!!!I iwshed. Those days for me are long gone. If like all this week, i'll be luicky to get out of here much before 6! Should finish at 4.30
We have two showers in the building, Dunno why just always been there however I am now glad they are ;-)
Where do you work that you have showers there? lolOur office has 6 showers and changing rooms! Its apprently, a new regulation for all new buildings in London that they have to provide for cyclists and ours was built in 2007
Go Girl. It took me 55 mins to do my 1st journey to work (11 miles, uphill and flat) Since i have moved i havet ridden to work.
WOW..... that's really good.... I didn't realise now unfit I was until I cycled yesterday. If I can get it to under 30 mins by the end of April I'll be one happy girl!
Its not really, it seems it! The route was the 1st 2.5 miles up hill getting steeper into a 1:5, then downhill at something like 36mph, then a gentle downhill slope for a few miles, then another lump, then a slow incline up into london. Homeward was about 1hr 20. There was also a cycle route which wasnt as lumpy but 2 mile longer! That took around the same time but was so boring
V - {{{{{{{sending you big squashy Q hugs}}}} }}}
We got showers too but they are in the roads block with all the men. I think i would be rather sweaty after 9 miles ( mostly down hill so would be uphill on the way back) though I would be capable of cycling the canal. But i am an essential car user and just get away with using the bike and it looks like I will be heading to Milngavie soon so that an extra 11 miles in the jounery with no parking at the other end!! me thinks bike could be used as communting tool now!
What I've also found is that road you think are flat when in the car actually have a every so slight up or down hill to them

OOohh!! An accident just happened up the road. I'm kinda glad cos the girl that lives up there is a bit dodgy with her driving, now it looks like her car will be off the road for a while. Not sure the BMW driver she hit is quite so happy with the damage she has done to the car. He's on the phone obviously to recovery and the insurance company.
Crazy stuff
