I FIND it interesting that drivers take advantage of new drivers to the extent that it sometimes amounts to assault.
Firstly, the definition of assault. Assault is the anticipation of fear of an individual from another individual.
These more experienced drivers bully and endanger new drivers with their driving.
These new drivers have a huge “P” sticker on their vehicle and yet senior drivers will show them who are the more experienced drivers.
It is shocking how senior drivers treat amateur drivers.
In spite of the latter giving a directional signal, these senior drivers will overtake them even if it is in an alley.
Some senior drivers will not give you any chance, even though you have the turn signal indicator on.
As time goes by, these new drivers will stop giving turn signals because they feel others will not let them pass even if they do so.
Some male drivers shout at female drivers after a minor accident even if they are in the wrong.
In fact, it is common to see female drivers staying in their car after a minor collision and calling a male friend to come and speak to the other party.
In time, these new drivers will become reckless drivers This cycle has to end.
If reckless drivers do not reflect on their actions, there will come a time where the government may even terminate their driving licences.
The consequences are not desirable, and there’s no one else to blame but themselves.
