๐ A gentle reminder to give our learner drivers some extra breathing room! ๐
Today during a lesson, my student stalled at some traffic lightsโa completely normal, everyday part of learning to drive. Unfortunately, the vehicle behind didnโt leave quite enough space or time to react, resulting in this rear end collision.
The big takeaway here: Learners will make mistakes, hesitate, and stall. If you see an โLโ plate, please just drop back and leave a little extra space. That extra meter or two gives everyone the time they need to react safely. Rest assured weโll all be on our way faster and more safely with a bit of patience and some extra clearance space.
โค๏ธ The silver lining: I want to say a massive thank you to the van driver involved. They were absolutely excellentโincredibly caring, calm, and professional while we exchanged details. We are both so grateful for how wonderfully they handled the situation.
Most importantly, weโre all ok, shaken but doing ok!
