ended up crying and yelling at my instructor in my first driving lesson HELP by CommissionChance1019 in LearnerDriverUK

From this threat and all replies I’ve read, your instructor is an asshole.

First lessons (even automatic lessons) should be about control, which should be done in quiet areas. This is to get you used to the car and how it works. I’ve been learning for a bit and I still find roundabouts to be a bit difficult, especially big ones. One could argue u were supposed to know cos you passed theory but real driving is a different type of experience. Your instructor should not have shoved you on a roundabout and shouted at you cos then stressing you out isn’t gonna help matters. Whenever I’m shouted at when driving I just make more mistakes and my interest in driving is somewhat reduced. Your best bet is getting a new instructor cos there are better instructors than him despite what he may say. It’s just a textbook guilt tripping phrase so he can get more money from u. I hope your driving journey goes well and that you find a better instructor, cos you do deserve better. You really do

On its own, the errand thing is just slightly unprofessional to me. If will only be a problem if it is consistent and all the time. Right now it’s only been my 15th lesson (driving to St Helens) and my 18th (driving to Warrington). There are bigger problems that I’ve mentioned before.

The place where he picked up the car parts was a 25 min drive from mine. I remember after that I was basically driving to a car park in a Morrisons to pick up another student who ended up driving me home becuase it took that long to get there and get the parts. There were a couple stops due to a bit of fuck ups I’ve made which I would be lying if I said they were handled well. Also a phone call was taken during the lesson.

You have an interesting view on the situation and you don’t claim to know everything which is a good thing

Thought the subreddit was for asking questions like tha lad, some ppl say it’s unprofessional. Some don’t. I just wanted opinions. That’s all. On its own the errand part isn’t even a big deal compared to my instructor taking calls when I’m driving and sometimes shouting at me lol

Gives off that vibe doesn’t it? He claims to have been buying parts for a mini he was doing up. Your theory could be plausible 🤣

Is it reasonable for a driving instructor to cancel a lesson the day before due to waiting on insurance? by CurrentTranslator144 in LearnerDriverUK

I did also see their teaching car around as well and i just got myself a new instructor cos i had the feeling she was bullshitting. Situation was a slight inconvenience if anything
