You are waiting behind a car displaying L-plates at a busy junction. The learner driver stalls and takes a few moments to restart the engine. What should you do?

Explanation

According to Highway Code Rule 217, learner and inexperienced drivers may not react as quickly as others. You should be particularly patient with them, giving them time and space rather than using your horn, driving too close or trying to overtake inappropriately. Staying calm and maintaining a safe gap helps them move off safely and reduces the risk of a collision.
