Learners and overtaking

[Kevaclone]

talking about L platers
who here has taught their learner how to overtake on single lane two way roads
or was taught how while learning?

Both my eldest know how to do it.
But we see so many who just follow along and even tailgating behind someone doing 70 in a 100 zone on straight stretches, but never pass
I remember years ago there was even ads on TV showing the proper way to overtake.

Being from a country area when I was learning to drive(30klms between towns) overtaking was something everyone did.
These days it's uncommon in some places to see anyone overtaking, instead they will sit behind the slower vehicle for 10klms or more till the next passing lane. Of course the slower vehicle then speeds up.
