Every driver on the road at any given time has a duty of care to other road users, whether they be a fellow driver, cyclist or a pedestrian. The standard of care required from all drivers is ‘the care and skill of an ordinary driver’.
The law is unforgiving in this area, and makes no exception for the learner or inexperienced driver (Nettleship v Weston). If a driver has failed to attain to this standard of care, then they may be liable for a breach of this duty, and thus guilty of negligence. This would mean that they could be held responsible for the road traffic accident, and you may be entitled to seek damages.
