Just coming home from the shopping park, I'm behind a BSM learner driver that was driving slow onto roundabouts and generally slow at accelerating, I see a big gap on a 60 straight behind the learner driver (Corsa D 1.2) the learner is pootling along at 45-50 so I pull out to overtake.......I don't believe it, BSM car ACCELERATES as I overtake, and had to push it to get back on to the right side of the road in time
It was like the instructor TOLD her to accelerate as I went past  It would have otherwise been a perfectly safe and normal overtaking manouvre.
Pissed me right off, nice to see what they're teaching learner drivers these days.

Maybe the learner was still accelerating when you pulled out?

No you didn't. You could have dropped back in behind them.
