I was out and about today in Woking, right in the middle of the evening rush hour. There was an obviously very new learner driver being taken on all the main A-roads and oh.....my.....god.
I am not sure who should have been stopped from driving there and then first - the learner (who should have been off down some side road on a Sunday morning), or the kn0b for an instructor:
So this, like so many things, got me thinking. Anyone else seen such obviously poor teaching/learning? Also, do you have any stories from your days as a learner?

- The speed of the car was changing erratically - at one point doing 40 odd mph in a 30 zone, and then 25ish in a 50mph stretch.
- The positioning on the road was simply terrible - from virtually mounting the pavement to almost on the wrong side of the road.
- They were swerving quite a lot.
- At one point going around a roundabout, the driver clipped the kirb.
- And to then top it off, they skidded to a stop inches from hitting a stationary car.
