Learner driver defended after ‘cruel’ note is left on car windscreen

The note on the car was shared on Reddit.

People are sticking up for a learner driver who found a ‘cruel’ note left on their car windscreen.

It's easy to forget but learning to drive can be tough and making mistakes is part and parcel of the experience.

But when you make a blunder behind the wheel, it's pretty hard to hide it from veteran drivers who are quick to complain about learners - as well as cyclists, of course.

But one poor learner recently felt the wrath of a more experienced driver through the power of a strongly worded note left on their windscreen.

The note in question was found on a Mazda sedan parked at the Galleria Shopping Centre at Morley, Australia.

A photo of the note was then shared on Reddit, as the yellow 'L-Plate' is clearly shown in the image, at the top left of the driver's windscreen.

"Many three year olds have trouble staying within the lines," the sarcastic letter read.

"Maybe if you practise (sic) colouring this turtle, it will help with your parking."

Yikes.

In the comments section, users were shocked by the savageness, as one person wrote: "Maybe the learner has only just started learning to drive.

"I’d make my son do a few attempts but after 3-4 and it’s only slightly better, because their frustration is getting the better of them, then I found it was best to say ‘don’t worry about it, I’ll do it’."

They went on: "Things like that can really throw them in the beginning if you don’t cut them a break. They just don’t want to drive at all if you are too ‘unforgiving’.

"I admit I wasn’t a great teacher especially for early lessons, that’s why we ended up doing the majority with a professional instructor."

"Towards the end though I did most of the practice lessons and I was much better and he was much better too."

And another said: "It’s not even that poorly parked.

"If that was me and I got out and looked at it, I’d know it’s not the best I could do but it’s also not impeding other drivers from getting out and am I really going to get back in the car and adjust over being a little crooked? Nah."

While a third person pointed out how the vehicle behind the learner's car was parked in two spaces.

They said: "I like how they picked on the L plater, who is learning to park, but not the car behind, that is clearly in two spots.

"Unless it was on the car behind, and that person moved it to the L platers car, because they're insufferable."

If we've learnt anything from this, it's to maybe give learner drivers a little more slack on the roads!
