The independence, the freedom, and the confidence that can come with driving makes learning to drive one of the most beneficial\u00a0things to do. As a driver myself, I often say to people who are looking to start learning that it will be the best thing they ever invest time and money in.<\/p>\n<p>The requirements of learning to drive are quite simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You must hold a provisional driving licence<\/li>\n<li>You must be supervised when driving by a driving instructor or someone over the age of 21 who has held a full driving license for at least 3 years<\/li>\n<li>You must display &#8220;L&#8221; plates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your driving instructor or supervisor has a duty to ensure that you are driving in a safe manner and therefore <strong>learner drivers should feel in safe hands when learning to drive<\/strong>: but the person sitting next to you in the car is not normally the problem.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Other road users can be very ignorant and impatient when it comes to learner drivers and therefore many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/road_traffic_accidents.php\">road accidents<\/a> can occur as a result of this ignorance and impatience. Although learner drivers have the same duty of care as other road users, other road users should still treat learner drivers with extra caution.<\/p>\n<p>Learner drivers, for one, need more space. Other road users often tailgate and then when the learner driver reacts to something ahead by putting the brakes on (<em>probably way in advance but they are learning<\/em>), the vehicle behind collides with the rear of the learner driver.<\/p>\n<p>Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, it can be frustrating sometimes being stuck behind a learner driver but what many other road users forget is that they were in the exact same position once upon a time. <strong>Patience and space is the key to avoiding accidents with learner drivers<\/strong> &#8211; however some motorists just do not understand this! I for one was one of those learner drivers that panicked about when other road users following too closely, trying to overtake or just being rude and beeping their horn. <strong>This panic caused me to make more mistakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been injured in an accident as a learner driver due to the impatience, ignorance or just plain carelessness of another road user then you are entitled to make a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/100-percent-compensation-4u.php\">claim for compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Your <strong>instructor or supervisor should have the insurance cover sufficient to cover you as a learner<\/strong> and therefore these details along with the details of the other party involved will likely be provided by your instructor or supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>So get in touch with us here at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">The Injury Lawyers<\/a>. We specialise in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/personal-injury-claims.php\">personal injury claims<\/a> and have a wealth of experience in compensation claims.
