P-platers often get a bad rap when it comes to driving.
But one young Australian motorist was refreshingly surprised when an elderly woman stopped at a busy intersection to get out of her car and thank him for driving safely.
The bizarre incident occurred on Saturday in Tasmania. It was captured by Josh on his dash cam and uploaded to the Facebook page Dash Cam Owners Australia.

‘I want to commend you for the way you are driving,’ the woman says to Josh in the video
The video shows the elderly woman stopping at the entrance to a freeway in her Toyota Corolla.
She then puts the handbrake on and proceeds to get out of her car.
Josh is sitting in his car with the music blaring as she walks towards him.
He turns down the music, opens his window and ask the woman: ‘Is everything ok?’
‘I want to commend you for the way you are driving,’ the woman says to Josh in the video.
‘I see you’re on P-plates and you’re not driving liked a bloody hoon… good on you.’
‘Because there are so many morons… either drunk or on drugs or off their face.’

Josh thanks the woman for her praise, before she makes her way back to her car.
The video has attracted a number of comments, and ironically many Facebook users say the woman was driving dangerously herself.
‘Wow, let’s commend the young man on his driving, while parking in the middle of the road and blocking traffic… Genius! Do you think she sees the irony here?,’ commented one person.
