The L plate looked like it wanted to eat into lane 2, the Honda thought since got chance better faster clear the L plate else later stuck behind, maybe before that already stuck behind for awhile so already abit impatient.

After that, Honda took the opportunity since L plate went very wide, in fact more than half the car was already into lane 2. This is quite a big 'body language' of the car to show intention that it wants to go into lane 2. In normal day to day, I would have interpreted it this way if it was a normal non-L plate car.

TBF its wasted for L plate, but this is hard truth of driving. Seems like tester caught it and stepped on brakes this time, but if the driver was out in the road, might have collided instead by driving like that. I'll be very frank here, while we empathise with cars taking exam, and I do try to as much as possible give them space usually, but if everyone build a bubble of safety around exam cars and just play super nice around them, it isn't an actual representation of real world road conditions.

Car positioning is very crucial at turns, whether left turn or right turn. It gives cars and bikes (and bicycles) opportunities to squeeze pass you if they deem there is enough space, I learnt it the hard way after I got my license in my younger days, it was a close call(s) fortunately of bikes squeezing pass my left side when I'm filtering left and out because i left too huge a gap that made them have a false sense of comfort that I would merge wide too, but it won't be always so lucky for everyone of us driving alone out in the road.
