I think my driving instructor has given up on me ?

I tried to do a manoeuvre last week in my lesson, having had 1 attempt he said oh you know what your never going to get it today lets just give up.

My instructor is usually good with reasonable patience . was I in the wrong ? :frown:
No your instructor was a total ****. Maybe he had a bad day or something, but you weren't in the wrong. I took loads of attempts to do manoeuvres in my lessons, 2 attempt successes were a blessing

Thank you. I thought I was maybe being stupid like not knowing how to do it ? But I've never done it before in my life so perhaps he was a little harsh.

Wow, if it was your first time and he lost patience then that's rude. If he's normally patient just put it down to him having a bad day overall, something must have happened in an earlier lesson. I was hopeless in my first reverse parking and all that, spent so many lessons on it.

Just give benefit of the doubt, probably just an off day. Like you said, he's normally patient, just continue and try forget about it :h:
