There was this one time in driver training. A student was learning to drive on a highway. The instructor, who was distracted by his phone, didn't notice that the student was about to merge into a lane where a car was speeding up. Just as the student started to turn the wheel, the instructor finally looked up and screamed. Fortunately, the other car swerved at the last moment. Another horror story could be that in a very old training car, the gearshift got stuck while going uphill. The student tried everything but couldn't get it to work properly, and they started rolling back a bit until they managed to stop the car.
One horror story is when a driving instructor fell asleep during a lesson. The student was so shocked and didn't know what to do at first. Another is when the brakes of the training car suddenly failed while on a busy road. The student panicked but luckily managed to pull the emergency brake in time.
Well, I heard of a case where the driving instructor was extremely rude. He constantly yelled at the student for the smallest mistakes. For example, when the student slightly misjudged the distance while parking, the instructor berated him so harshly that the student almost lost confidence in driving altogether. And then there was a situation where during a driving test practice, a huge storm hit and the windshield wipers of the training car malfunctioned, making it nearly impossible to see the road.
Another idea is a story of a group of friends taking driving lessons together. They all had different learning paces and styles. One was very confident but made careless mistakes, while another was overly cautious. Through the training, they learned from each other's mistakes and experiences, and all became safe and competent drivers in the end.
There was this driver who took a really long and strange detour. He didn't explain it at first. Turns out he was trying to avoid traffic but ended up getting lost. The passengers were worried about being late and the whole situation was very stressful. It took much longer than expected to reach the destination and the driver didn't seem apologetic at all.
One horror story could be a driver getting lost constantly and making the passenger late for an important event like a job interview. The passenger was relying on the driver's GPS but it seemed the driver was not familiar with the area at all.
One horror story could be a Lyft driver getting into an accident due to another reckless driver. The Lyft driver and the passengers were all shaken up. There were injuries and a lot of chaos followed. Another could be a Lyft driver having a passenger who was extremely rude and verbally abusive throughout the ride, making the driver feel very uncomfortable.
One horror story is a delivery driver getting chased by a wild dog while trying to drop off a package at a rural house. The dog was barking ferociously and the driver had to run back to the van and wait for the homeowner to come out and restrain the dog.
One horror story is when a bus driver had a passenger who suddenly became violent. The passenger started yelling and threatening the driver for no reason. The driver had to keep calm while also trying to ensure the safety of the other passengers on board.
One horror story is about a truck driver who was driving at night on a lonely highway. Suddenly, his headlights started flickering and then went out completely. He could barely see the road but managed to pull over just in time to avoid a huge pothole that could have overturned his truck.
Sure. One such story involves a training vehicle with a broken speedometer. The student had no idea how fast they were going. They were on a road with a speed limit but were completely in the dark about their actual speed. Another is when the steering wheel of the training car was a bit loose. Every turn felt like a gamble as the student wasn't sure if the wheel would respond as expected.
I've heard of a driver who was delivering to a house where the customer's dog was loose and very aggressive. As the driver approached the door, the dog started barking and lunging at them. The driver was terrified and didn't know what to do. In some cases, drivers have also had to deal with food getting spilled in their cars during transit due to bad roads or sudden stops, which then means they have to clean up the mess and might get a bad rating for a late delivery.
There was a school bus driver who got lost in a really bad neighborhood. Some local gangs started harassing the bus, throwing rocks at it. The driver was terrified but managed to keep the kids calm and found a way to get out of there after calling the police. It was a really scary situation for everyone on the bus.
