Fancy looking at a day in the life of a driving instructor?
We get abuse for being in the correct lanes.
We get abuse for sticking to the speed limits.
We get the most abuse for sticking to 20 mph on a 20 zone !
We get abuse for slowing down because it says so on the road.
We get abuse for pulling up outside your house.
We get abuse because the driver didn’t set off quick enough.
We get abuse for stalling.
We get abuse for not tailgating the car in front.
We even get abuse for not blocking junctions and not going into a box junction.
We get abuse when you kindly let a learner out but they don’t react as quick as you would like them too.
We get abuse for practising a parallel park exercise with your cars! If only we could keep an inflatable one to practice around!
We get abuse when a learner is trying to make their own decision when to go at a junction!
Please don’t beep your horn, it really won’t speed us up.
Until we teach one of your family to drive then for a short time the abuse stops, but only for a short time.
We have all had to learn to drive, it’s funny how quickly we forget what it’s like.
We forget what it’s like to approach your first roundabout, the first parallel park, the first crossroads.
Please have a thought for us and our Students, it could be your son, daughter, niece, nephew.
We can’t use a class room and trust me we don’t like holding you up anymore than you do!
Please be patient and we will be out of your way in no time!
Thank you 🚗
( Remember sometimes it’s the instructor driving , we have to drive our own cars from A to B aswel with livery and L plates on the car ! )
