Can you share some driving instructor horror stories?
Well, I heard of a driving instructor who had really bad temper. He would slam on the brakes suddenly if the student made a mistake, scaring the student half to death. There was also this case where the driving instructor kept talking on his phone while the student was driving, completely ignoring the safety of the situation. Then there's the one who made inappropriate remarks to female students, which was really unacceptable.
Yes. There was a driving instructor who taught in an old car with faulty brakes. The student only found out when they were about to stop at a red light and the car didn't slow down as expected. It was a close call. Another horror story is that an instructor didn't properly teach the student about roundabouts and just let the student figure it out on their own during a test, which led to the student failing miserably. Also, an instructor who had really bad body odor and the student had to endure that throughout the whole lesson.

When the instructor asked why, the student said they were worried about being followed by aliens. It was so absurd that the instructor couldn't stop laughing.
What are some common themes in driving instructor horror stories?
The common themes often involve negligence. For example, not paying attention to the student's progress or not correcting mistakes properly. Another is creating a hostile learning environment, whether it's through yelling or constantly criticizing. And there are those instructors who seem more interested in just getting through the lesson rather than actually teaching the student how to drive safely. This can lead to a lot of problems for the student, from not being confident behind the wheel to actually getting into dangerous situations on the road.
Can you share some Boston driving horror stories?
Well, I remember a really bad experience. There was this crazy driver who was swerving all over the road while talking on their phone. I was so scared that I tried to get away from them as soon as possible. Also, the narrow and confusing streets in Boston make it really difficult to drive sometimes. You might end up in a one - way street going the wrong way without realizing it until it's too late.
