That silly habit of some motorists is a good way to cause an accident.untill I gave a little tap on the brake, just enough to so he could see my brake lights he backed of not for long though.

And your saying that not maintaining the gap wont cause an accident??
The instructor on the hibernian ignition course advised to tip the break to force the person behind to back off!
but what reason are you putting on your brakes ???
if there was an accident and you said eh i put the brakes on casue he was driving too close to me, imagine what a judge or garda would say to that ???
you think casue you put on your brakes he/she will never do it again, your only putting your own safety and your car at risk.
in Germany, motorway driving is one of the compulsory lessons. AFAIK, it is also tested in the driving test.I'd have to agree with this. Motorway driving is very different to driving on regular roads. It's a skill that needs to be taught. At a bare minimum, learner drivers should be allowed on the motorway with an instructor.
Thats a wandering statement how are they going to learn if they can't drive on the road. Didn't you have to learn yourself?IMHO all provisional licence holders should be put off the road. .
Not wishing to question your lexicon but it think 'wandering' is the wrong word. You're quoting post #16 but had you read on to post #22 you might have seen my clarification, quoted below . .Thats a wandering statement how are they going to learn if they can't drive on the road. Didn't you have to learn yourself?
To answer your question, yes I did learn to drive, 25 lessons with an Instructor in a properly equipped car - then passed the test. Ireland is one of very few countries that allow unqualified drivers, and those who have just failed a test, onto the roads.I'm not suggesting that provisional licence holders are put off the roads overnight. But removing provisional licence holders from the roads should be the goal, of course the wait for a test would need to be brought down to something reasonable first, maybe 3 or 4 weeks. There is no God given right to drive; only qualified drivers should be allowed to use the roads.
There is something so intrinsically dumb about beeping at a Learner Driver! What do they think they will accomplish with this? I think it's a very bad sign. Anyone who just mindlessly vents their rage like that must be dangerous on the road.
This might sound daft but I think the only way for anyone to individually change anything is to show some example. I genuinely believe that if you let someone out, or show some courtesy, that person is more likely to show that same courtesy to someone else. Unless they're a completely selfish ape of course.
Just because a car has an L sign on it doesn't mean to say that the driver is a learner. Many parents use their own cars to teach their children to drive. Many elderly people and "bad" drivers put L signs on their cars to give the impression that they are learner drivers and to put other drivers off beeping them.
that's what makes them so bad, I know quite a few terrible drivers but not one of them would put an L-plate on their car after they had passed their test
Where did you drive while taking your 25 lesson's?To answer your question, yes I did learn to drive, 25 lessons with an Instructor in a properly equipped car - then passed the test.
