Is this really bad for a driving test score?

ok, so forget this degree qualification whateever hes got. if hes so bad, then why, nearly every week, does he say to me stuff such as 'i had another student pass the other day' etc. he seems to have alot of students pass recently.

well then, you tell me. If i know what side to drive on, then why would i drive on the opposite side?

no haha I wouldnt be able to drive in a parents car. i wouldnt be confident enough driving in a car that is FULLY under my control (ie no pedals at the passenger side)

well then, you tell me. If i know what side to drive on, then why would i drive on the opposite side?

anyway, one of them was when i was trying out of the test centre at about 3 mph so no harm done yeah?

Just because he says it doesn't mean it's true

So now youre calling him a liar? as well as a bad instructor? (not saying youve called him a bad instructor, but others have). anything else you want to accuse him of? He showed me some photos on his phone of some of his passed students with their certificate. let me guess, he photoshopped them? or stole them off the internet?

Pull the other one.

I really don't understand why you are getting so stressed about people giving good advice. My first instructor was a very good liar and was just stringing me along for money. It wasn't until I changed instructors that the scales were lifted from my eyes and I could see how bad he really was.
Maybe he isn't a bad instructor and you are the problem. I mean driving on the wrong side of the road. Maybe you're just not meant for driving

To give you an idea if you should have got the hang of driving after 40+ hours in charge of a car.

I have a pilots licence. That takes 42 hours of flying time to obtain.
A plane goes up and down as well as left and right, and you have a lot of other things to do at the same time - radio, navigation etc.

You should be able to go down the correct side of the road, and not be hitting stationary objects after 40 hours.

Go for a trial lesson with another instructor to get an objective view of your driving ability. It's not for everyone. Maybe you are one of life's pedestrians.

How is calling my instructor a lier, when hes shown me prove on his phone (unless hes an amazing photoshopper) good advice?

Believe me, he isnt a bad instructor, all the other instructors know him and hes known as quite a good instructor. So that would
lead you to believe that i am the problem, then?' And what do you mean by 'just not meant for driving'?

The advice was switching instructors. And what I meant is that if he really is as good as you say then there is no hope for you and the roads of Britain would be safer without you on them. I have never heard of anyone driving on the wrong side of the road, twice!! Because you don't seem to comprehend just how dangerous that is I am not going to reply any more. Good luck in what ever you decide to do

ok then, if driving on the wrong side of the road is so bad, why didnt my examiner stop the test? if it was that dangerous, surely he should of told me to get out of the car, and let him drive me back to the test centre? No?

Obviously me going onto the other side of the road cant of been that bad, or he would of done that. Surely?

I'm sorry but how can you not realise that driving into oncoming traffic is massively dangerous? Maybe the examiner didn't think you'd make the same mistake twice.

And about the instructor, sometimes one person's way of teaching doesn't work for everybody, their method may not be right for you. Its worth trying out another instructor just to see, isn't it?
