My niece was really worried about driving in traffic when she was learning. She drove slowly and got some honks and gestures that really rattled her. My sister, her mother, made a sign that she put on the back of the car (without telling her daughter) “Please be patient, new driver”. My sister said it was amazing how well other drivers responded. No honking, -smiles and waves.
Having been a driver examiner I have many stories of unusual driving. Had one drive forward failing to notice the steel I beam extending some five feet off the rear of this truck….directly in front of him. He ran right into it buried the steel beam in the headrest….on MY SIDE!! I had dropped to the floorboard just in time as he failed to obey my commands to stop. CRASH!!! He asked if this would fail his test. I said sarcastically No you failed to signal while pulling out from a parked position…..so that is a violation and a failure. Now open the danged door and help me out!XD

You’d think there would be a bonus for that.
I bet Joie Chitwood got a bonus for that on HIS driving test…

Then he will have to deduct a few hundred dollars when she crashes the car.

He might prefer a virtual test system after this one.

That’s an advanced driving technique. He should add points

I learned to drive in a Texas oil field, I’m betting I had more fun.
