As we're heading into Pantomime season I'll say Oh Yes I Did - I said "Passed 1st time second time around" which is true. A spectacular piece of taking something out of context - well played!

Nowadays people would be writing all sorts of negative comments on Facebook and deliberately attempting to put poor guy out of business for this sort of behaviour. I don't think drink driving was largely accepted in 2004. Drink driving has been frowned upon for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out with him again the day - he's certainly gaining in confidence, rattled into town at a fair rate of knots, exceeding his restricted speed limit , zipped across roundabouts despite traffic coming from the right - "I'd plenty of time, I noticed what speed they were doing" - which was correct but if he had been clipped it would have been his fault. (Although I suppose his sister and I could have both told lies and said the other car wasn't indicating...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysartrovers Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Being a driving instructor sounds like a pish job.Need to work weekends and evenings and you’re constantly getting into a car with someone who literally cannot drive. My Mrs is a driving instructor and does the vast majority of her lessons during the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Rubin Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 30 per hour x 40 = £1200 per week - petrol = £1050 It's not well paid but its reasonably paid to be a driving instructor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you’re PB and you’re trolling but it’s probably more like £25*35, less petrol, sky-high insurance, car maintenance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 My driving instructor was great, he very publicly left his wife for one of his students, think she was about 25 years younger than him. Spent about 90% of lessons talking about birds and generally was a massive creep, no idea how he wasn't given some sort of court order banning him from instructing. He doesn't teach people how to drive anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need a clean licence to qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my ex-neighbour paid about £200 per annum insurance as an instructor. They're perceived as a non-insurance risk because they've clean licences and will conform with the rules of the road.

I'm saving driving instructors make fewer claims against insurance than the average driver, hence premiums are lower. Remember they have dual controls.
