To ask for tolerance towards learner drivers?

Dd is learning to drive and as well as her lessons she is now practising in my car. We were out this morning and experienced some awful behaviour from other drivers. For example - turning right out of a side road into a main road the driver behind her beeped their horn several times to get her to hurry up. This of course just made her anxious and she stalled. The car is clearly marked with 'L' plates. Is it so difficult to be considerate to an inexperienced driver?

I've had 'Learn how to drive!' shouted at me by another motorist when I didn't do something or other fast enough for his liking. It gave me such a fright I nearly pranged my car! I would never do anything to unnerve an already nervous newbie driver because I think it's actually unsafe to do so. Driving is all about confidence and everyone know you only REALLY learn to drive AFTER you've passed your test. We should all be kind to learners as we were all there once... Good luck OP's daughter, you'll be fab on test day!
