I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inexperienced driver' is the definition.
'learner' can be an answer for 'driver' (I have seen 'New driver ' mean 'learner' so perhaps 'driver' could also mean 'learner'). I am not certain of the 'inexperienced' bit.

'left with person making money' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'person making money' becomes 'earner'.
'l'+'earner'='LEARNER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for learner that I've seen before include "Someone undergoing education" , "One ascertaining" , "A student or beginner" , "Acquirer of knowledge" , "Disciple" .)
