The Drive on the posh Firs Estate in South Woodford, East London is the UK's favourite road for learner drivers - with 150,000 of them taking to the roads every year.

But residents aren't happy. According to The Sun, Eddie Blackwell has been campaigning for years to stop the learners who frequently bring chaos and destruction to the road.

Eddie said: "Over the last eight years there have been well over 100 accidents and we are fed up with it. I have seen so many cars driving onto the pavement, hitting lampposts and hitting other cars. It's like a warzone."

Fed up residents have surveyed the road, and found a staggering 409 learners practising in just 12 hours. Eddie has collected 300 signatures for a petition which has been passed to the government, asking for signs to be erected banning driving instructors' cars unless they're picking up or dropping off a pupil.

But one driving instructor hit back at the residents. Despite sympathising with them Dave Jeffrey of DJs School of Motoring said: "at the end of the day, drivers have to learn somewhere. The roads are wide here and it is ideal for parking and manoeuvres."
