Driving School-Close Encounter


I was finishing a very productive driving lesson last night and on the way back out of Bletchley I noticed a man ahead of us on a bike.  I started to ask my pupil how she was going to overtake him and where.  Just then from a left side road a car entered our road at the same time as the man on the bike passing that entrance.  The man on the bike swerved into the middle of the road to avoid being hit by the car.  
At this point I was very surprized for I did not expext the car on the side road to enter for they had a clear view on approach, also I was surprized for the car was a learner car.
What happened next was also dangerous, for the car started to drive along the road with two wheels on the grass verge and two wheels on the road while the man on the bike rode at the side of them waving at the car in horror.
The man on the bike took the lead and the learner car followed close behind.  I asked my pupil when is a good place to over take the man on the bike.  At that point the learner car ahead of us started to overtake the man on the bike,  but they were overtaking on a bend.  Sure enough a car came round the bend in the opposite direction causing the learner car to swerve back into his side of the road narrowly missing the man on the bike again.
This all took place in the matter of a couple of minutes.  It was like watching a video on how to drive dangerously.
Lucky for the man on the bike and the pupil in the learner car,  no one got hurt on this occation.  
My pupil was happy that she was not being taught by that learner school.
