Default Driver courtesy towards L platers..

Saw an act of stupidity last night that frustrated and annoyed me.
While i was driving home through warrandyte on a single lane dark wet road (some people will know the area) and 2 cars ahead was an L plater travelling cautiously along this road, some tool in a following car sat up the rear of the L plater for about 4 k's tailgating them, then tried to overtake them twice only to pull back due to oncoming traffic, they eventually got past but tooted, flashed their lights and cut the L plater off as they merged aggressively back over, the L plater swerved into the gravel in fright but maintained control and pulled back onto the road.
I was furious so i took the plates down and reported them.

FFS people, i see this too often, L platers (and allot of P Platers too) will travel cautiously when they're learning and in unfamiliar or uncomfortable surroundings, BE PATIENT, stay back and don't crowd them... if you see a learner or p plater displaying cautious driving behaviour just show some restraint and courtesy and give these people a chance to learn without being harassed.
