Learner driver leeway

Driving along today and a learner driver joins in front, turning (with some difficulty) onto the road ahead. I gave them loads of space, and going by the quality of the driving I assumed it was a person under instruction and maybe a first lesson out in the wild. They weren't very good at keeping to lane when going round corners, or when it was straight really. They were driving at 35 on a NSL but occasionally speeding up to 50 at odd points. They braked every time a car came in the opposite direction (wide road) At one point that road doesn't have any markings and the learner was mostly on the wrong side of the road approaching a bend, albeit very slowly. Indicating was non existent or late at roundabouts and junctions. General control of the vehicle seemed lacking, but all kind of understandable for a first ever lesson in the wild in a quiet area...

Anyway, I follow them for about half my commute and then at some point we're going our separate ways and I pull alongside to make a turn and it's a young person driving on their own Shock

WIBU to report?

YANBU, of course you should report them as they are clearly not safe to be on the road and are driving illegally

Yes you should report.

Surely there isn't even a question here. Of course you report them.
