Driving Instructor, on the road in rush hour

L-plates causing a jam?
I don't have a problem with folk learning to drive. We've all been there at some point or other, but why do driving schools have to take their students out on busy roads during the rush hour when they aren't ready for it?

I know this is going to sound a bit nasty, because I guess we all had to learn to drive at some time or other, but why do driving instructors take their students out on the road at stupid times and on very busy stretches of road?

| 15-4-2008 | My brother saw the adverts earn up to £30,000 to train as a driving instructor. However what they don't tell you the training they provide for the £3000 you pay, is nowhere near adequate to get through the instructor test and it takes much longer than they say. He had to get pay for ex...more | Martfoxy |
| 09-2-2008 | I am a fully qualified ADI and can agree and sympathise with a lot of the comments mentioned on this page. When I learnt to drive - I was THAT learner going at 35mph in the 60mph zone! The reason why?? Well, my instructor was more interested in taking the previous pupil home, then going to pick up t...more | Dave the Driving Instructor |
| 05-11-2007 | Most learners can't choose their lesson times to any great degree. If you work 8-4 you can only go out between 4 and 7... either way you still have to be able to drive the test routes, which INCLUDE a-roads.
When do you suggest they drive on A-roads? During their working day? Late at night wh...more | Jon |
| 16-10-2007 | well most of the time it isnt the instructor that chooses the time of the lesson, its the student. these times may seem stupid to you but maybe its the only free time a student has for a driving lesson | ben jones |
| 27-9-2007 | There's a dreadful lack of understanding about driving tuition. No matter how quiet the roads we start our new pupils on, there is inevitably a first time for every driving situation..
First time on a busy roundabout, first time on a dual carriageway, first time in rush hour traffic etc etc. ...more | ADI 6 |
| 14-9-2007 | Tailgating learners is ridiculous and dangerous. When it happens to my pupils I switch on the hazard flashers - the idiots soon drop back as it alerts the Police to their bad driving. | paulo |
| 14-9-2007 | Learner cars have a Road Fund Licence and are, therefore, perfectly entitled to use the roads at any time of the day or night. I suggest those that feel inconvenienced by having to drive behind a learner simply find another route. Just remember, the reason we ALL have to suffer speed cameras, road h...more | nimby |
| 21-8-2007 | The idIot below Is clearly an idiot with the insane ideas of ALL learning to take place in arcades. that would surely cause plenty of accdents after learning due to nerves opf finally being out on real roads, and the suggestion that they should be limted to less than 1000cc is clearly unsuitable as ...more | mike |
| 30-7-2007 | I can see both sides of this one.
Yes it is infuriating when stuck behind a learner during rush hour traffic. Especially if the road you are on has few, if any, overtaking opportunities.
Yes, learners have got to encounter as many situations during their lessons as possible, to make them more com...more | Freddie |
| 28-7-2007 | Yeah, my car also sticks out like a sore thumb... but you wouldn't believe how long it takes some people to take in that they are following a learner...
I doubt most people who've had a licence for over 10 years would now pass the driving test! Some people's attitudes out there are ab...more | fedupwithidioticbehaviour |
| 13-7-2007 | Learner drivers need to encounter all road situations and conditions and it is therefore perfectly acceptable for them to be out on any road in ' the rush hour'. The inconsiderate motorist who posted the gripe has to learn to be patient and set off from home a few minutes earlier. I suppos...more | Pedro |
| 17-6-2007 | This just prooves my point that all people above 30 are hypocritical c*nts. Learning to drive was the most troumatic thing I have ever done. Every one who has a licence had to learn to drive at some point. Your just an idiot that thinks they own the road. Simulators don't mean a thing in the rea...more | Young Person 2Y no claims |
