Make it illegal to abuse Driving Instructors, Examiners and Learner Drivers.
To hold abusers of Learner Drivers accountable for their actions.
As a driving instructor, my pupils and myself are often abused verbally by other road users. It is totally unfair on my learners who are doing their best to learn a life long skill. This skill helps keep them and other road users safe! Many of my pupils are anxious/nervous and abusing them damages their confidence. I do understand that we are slower and that we make mistakes. However, we have L plates on the car which warns other drivers that we do not have their speed, confidence or ability.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There are already offences that apply to verbal abuse and harassment in public: www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/verbal-abuse-and-harassment-public
Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.
