Tailgating, overtaking, beeping and intimidating behaviour towards Learner and Newly Qualified Drivers - Part One
Listen on
Episode notes
In this episode, Kev and Tracey chat to Matt Adams at Marmalade Network about the results of a survey that Marmalade Insurance carried out among learner drivers, newly qualified drivers, and supervising parents regarding aggression towards learner drivers on the road.
We chat about:
- How often learners experienced incidents of abuse and imidation
- Where these events occured most often
- And how tailgating, overtaking aggressively, and beeping were the most common types of abuse experienced
- Along with a few of our tips for what to do if you find yourself in that position.

How did it make you feel?
What advice would you give to others?
How do you think you will react to learner drivers in the future when you are the experienced, confident driver?
