People learn at different rates. Those who are doing 20 may feel that they are uncomfortable doing 30 - despite being in a 30 zone. There's nothing to say that there's a minimum speed limit in zones where learner drivers roam, and they choose a 30 limit specifically beacause it's often the clearest bit of road available without any street furniture obstructing them like speed humps. Learning is progressive. If you're not comfortable handling 20mph, there's not a chance in hell that you'd be able to compotently manage a car about at 30mph.
My instructor was very cautious that even though i'm a confident driver according to her, she did warn me that i had a habit of going 5mph over the limit in most areas. I never used to get the generalised look of a learner driver, but then again i feel i had an advantage of being on the road for longer due to riding my ped back then. Whoever said that women can't drive maybe somewhat correct in certain aspects, but they can sure as hell teach a young lad to drive safely and compotently.
Off topic: on an old Top Gear episode, someone suggested a minimum speed limit on NSL's whereupon those who fail to reach the limits will be picked off the police marksmen (instead of being speed-gunned). I reckon this should apply to learners who have been unfortunately led onto >40mph zones by their instructors and they are presented with a clear, dry road ahead. Just a thought. ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &
