Learner drivers

I struggle with reversing, I am only 5' tall (probably less now!) and after a whiplash injury I cannot turn my head far, even looking sideways is painful. Thank God for rear parking sensors, I have to use the mirrors instead of turning round, and can only look at one side of the car at a time, so yes, I cannot help a bit of weaving backwards and forwards if reversing for any distance. So I am probably the one waiting hopefully that someone who finds reversing easier than me will give in first! I don't think I am alone in having neck pain, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!

I hate it when horse riders and cyclists ride side by side sometimes making it impossible to pass because I like to give them a wide berth , I'm another who wishes drivers would use their indicators on the road and in car parks .

Lemon I learned to drive in 1966, and my memory not being perfect, I don't remember if it was part of the test, but it was definitely one of the things I was taught, along with reversing around corners with the aid of a hairclip pushed into the centre of the back window rubber. I still use the same method, whether driving a large Daimler or my present small Opel Corsa: first pull alongside the space to see if there is room for your car! Then pull alongside the car in front with the back wheel level with the end of that car. Reverse with full lock until you judge your wheel arch is the right distance from the kerb (depends who my passenger is...if DH he needs a good foot to be able to get out of the car, anyone fit gets half that distance) change lock at this point and straighten up the car...job done.

We are just under 200 miles to our nearest motorway, so not sure what will happen up here. But agree with learner how to navigate single track roads!

I am useless at reversing back down a road although fine in a car park, think it's the distance & also restricted movement in my neck (my excuse & I'm sticking to it)

I lived in a rural area when I was learning to drive & learnt through the Winter, some dreadful weather conditions so that holds no real terrors for me. I now live in rural Devon, sorry to say but visitors are the worst, they freeze if they meet another vehicle on a fairly narrow road!! Some locals drive too fast especially over Dartmoor (40 MPH limit).

I am an expert at parallel parking as long as it's nearside

My biggest bugbear is lack of indicators, I'm not a "mind reader". As for using roundabouts correctly

in my suburban corner, people drive at ridiculous speeds. And in massive 4x4s. Hate to think the damage they can cause in their rush. Especially pedestrians wandering across roads looking at phones, off with the fairies,

We live in a rural area and driving schools use our street to teach their learners to reverse usually behind my car! I agree that learners need to learn, although in my opinion there are already too many cars on the roads. I have witnessed a few near misses, where a learner has almost collided with my car. I know driving school cars have dual controls but I wonder what would happen if a car hit mine.
In New Zealand, where I come from, all speed limit signs say 50, or whatever the speed limit is, is not a target and I have noticed that they are beginning to do it over here.
