A must-see for those who are afraid of driving school! A former instructor talks about four ways to deal with it and what is the "last resort"! ?

When you encounter a scary instructor at driving school, it's only natural to think, ``I'm going to stop teaching!'' Moreover, for people who are not good at driving, the presence of demon instructors will only make them less motivated to get their driver's license. However, such instructors are never bullying their students.
Make sure you understand how to deal with demon instructors and make your future teaching life even more fulfilling.

1. Why instructors are so strict

According to reviews regarding the training, some people have had the following experiences.

  • The instructor let out a sigh as he was unable to change direction.
  • While driving on the road, the instructor silently stepped on the auxiliary brake, creating an awkward atmosphere.
  • If I couldn't answer the instructor's questions, he would unnecessarily provoke me, saying things like, ``You won't be able to pass the graduation Driving Test!''
  • The instructor, who seemed like a nice guy at first glance, suddenly got angry and I went blank.

When you receive this kind of instruction, you can't help but doubt the instructor's humanity. However, it is not a matter of personality that instructors give strict instructions. This has a lot to do with the guidance policy of the Public Safety Commission. In order to become an instructor at Driving School, you must undergo training and examination from the Public Safety Commission of each prefecture. Some of the training content includes strict instructions for the trainees in order to develop them into safe drivers. Unfortunately, not all active drivers drive safely, and some engage in dangerous driving such as swerving, cutting in, and pulling too close. If your agitation towards these people manifests in your driving, it could lead to a serious accident. Therefore, drivers are required to remain calm at all times, in other words, they are required to be mentally strong. A noisy instructor sitting in the passenger seat may actually be training the student's mental health.

2. Former instructor talks about how to deal with scary teaching

Most of you may think, "I kind of understand why instructors are so nervous, but scary things are scary!" So, what should you do if you encounter an instructor at a driving school who has a reputation for being scary? Advice from a former veteran instructor.

Show your enthusiasm with a cheerful greeting

greetingA pleasant greeting leaves a good impression on people. Before the lesson begins, show the instructor that you are taking the lesson seriously by greeting them with a cheerful "Hello, nice to meet you!" Instructors will always notice, ``Oh, you're such a motivated student.''

Even if you're not good at driving, people will understand if you try hard.

drivingMany people who don't want to go to driving school say that they are bad at driving. It is true that there are individual differences in the improvement of driving skills. However, there is nothing wrong with thinking that you are bad at driving. Most instructors are aware that their students are unfamiliar with driving. (If you encounter a high-pressure person who asks you, "I can't do this!", complain as much as you can. Please refer to 3.) The important thing here is to "follow the instructor's instructions properly. , let's drive correctly!" Instructors can clearly see the difference between those who work hard in their lessons and those who do not. Even if you think he doesn't have good taste, don't act like a jerk.

Even if you are good at driving, be careful not to act like you know anything.

Attention of driving schoolOn the other hand, those who are confident in driving should be careful. If you respond to the instructor's instructions or points by saying, ``I understand,'' or ``I know that,'' it will, of course, make the student feel uncomfortable or angry. No matter how much knowledge you have about cars, you are still a trainee. No matter who you are, let's not forget our original intentions and work hard to learn according to the instructor's guidance.

No matter what you say, just listen to what they say.

listen to the storyWhen you receive harsh criticism or guidance, you can't help but want to refute or humiliate yourself. But please keep that in mind. Your opponent is a driving professional who has much higher skills and knowledge than you. It will definitely be refuted. Some people may say this harshly, but they are only doing this to develop you into a better driver. Let's listen properly.

3. When nothing works

There are some people who think, ``I said hello and listened to what they had to say, but they scolded me. I can't handle it!'' This fuzzy feeling can lead to an allergy to the driving school, which is very dangerous. Let's try the following method to solve it.

Creating a community among students

communityJust sharing this feeling with other trainees will make you feel surprisingly refreshed. If you're not shy, try getting along with the students and complaining to them about a particularly unpleasant instructor. (However, please refrain from excessive stress relief or slander.) Also, if you use a local driving school, you will unexpectedly find many familiar faces. If you encourage each other as you study together, your negative feelings will naturally go away.

If you receive power harassment or abusive language, immediately consult a counter or the Public Safety Commission.

If you find an insane instructor, immediately report it to the counter or the Public Safety Commission. Here is an example of damage:

  • I got hit on the head when I made a mistake.
  • When explaining how to apply stronger or weaker brakes, he held my arm and explained to me.
  • He kept asking me lewd questions while driving.
  • His humanity was denied, saying, ``No matter what you do, people like you will never succeed.''

If there is behavior that is clearly inappropriate for an instructor, such as power harassment, sexual harassment, or excessive verbal abuse, please do not handle it alone.

summary

Instructors have a duty to develop safe drivers.

I have written about various ways to deal with this problem, but there is no doubt that all instructors teach with a sense of important mission. If a student were to cause an accident, the instructor would also be held responsible. (Even students should be aware that they will be held responsible if they cause an accident.) That is why we give strict instructions when driving dangerously. In fact, after obtaining your license, you will be responsible for making appropriate decisions on your own. If you think about it that way, you will understand the value of the instructor's guidance. Please refer to these three points in order to make your life at the driving school and your life after obtaining your license fulfilling.
