Sums it all up!

+ learners, i no we were all learners once but when they are learning in cars practicing in the road where i live doing 3 point turns right out side my drive 3 point turns with out checking mirrors properly and then the instructor getting ar$ey back to you, i tired getting out my drive once to find a learner doing a 3 point turn i was tooting etc and the instructor goes "ill get out in a minute" wtf? your teaching good driving manners arent you!

I find learners a pain in the ass when they do 3 pointers because when you approach them mid-turn they fkn stop. I can't remember what i'm supposed to do! I drive past and i get a look and if i don't drive past they wave me by. Grr.
I have patience with them though, having been one both car and bike.

Wait 'em out or use the pavement if you're in a rush.

Learners don't really **** me off tooo much (unless they're going stupidly slow) but I still get more angry at their instructor for letting them do 10mph in a 40 or whatever. If they're going slow they're usually easy enough to overtake and anyway they should be more aware of you then most plonkers.

Try swerving out the way of a pile of fresh horse $hit, because if you go through it you would probably fall off.

hehehehe, one of my new favorite games is to make them work HARD....keep the revs high so it makes them fell you are right behind them, they don't half peddle hard

very true, your looking around loads more when learning. Its once people pass the test they start to fail as drivers.

Oh yeh, worlds biggest PITA, FKN HORSES. Stupid bint on top waving her arms around like i'm the one the horse is gonna be ****ed off with, not the fat tweed bungalow lying across its back. I do slow down and hold the clutch in but i feel like punching the horse so she can go for a real ride.

I dont mind the horses if they are out in the countryside. I dont expect to see horses in this crappy area because it doesnt suit the environment. I rode past a horse in Maldon, it was a very quiet road and it was obviously being moved from one place to another. I politely held the clutch in and gave a nod, they appreciated it and off i went.
