OMG my driving instructor.......?

Question

ok, i'm 27 and i just start learning to drive(i spent the last 10 yeas of my life to learn 3 languages and had a master degree in science). My instructor told me that i'm too old to learn and many other negative comments about my age including my wrinkles (OMG). I cant believe this is the way to be. what should i do? please help. thanks....

Answer 1

I'm not really sure about this but I suspect that you are feeling self conscious about your age. After all most people have their license by the time their 27. I also suspect that your instructor is just teasing you about it. He would be shocked, I think, to know how much it is upsetting you. I think that if you tell him in a calm but sincere way that you know he's just kidding you but that his remarks are making you uncomfortable and angry then he will quit and you  won't have to change instructors. Just a hunch.

Answer 2

get a new driving instructor now he sounds like a right pillock

Answer 3

what a moron 0-o I'd say change instructors and find someone else more willing to teach u then someone who judges u for ur age. At least at 27 u'll prob. be more responsible on the road driving then teens who are just beginning at 15/16

Answer 4

Turn him in to his supervisors. That is untrue and uncalled for. No one is ever too old to learn something new. negative comments are not necessary, and unethical!

Answer 5

How about finding a different school?

He clearly doesn't want your business.

Answer 6

What a jerk. Get rid of him and get another instructor. He has no business saying such a thing to you.

Answer 7

You should stop paying that twats mortgage and go elsewhere. He's not a professional and you will never pass with him.

Answer 8

my aunty learnt at 35, so there is no such thing as to old

if i was u id find someone else and also report him to the company

Answer 9

call the place ur going thru if its a professional place and tell them they have made some negative remarks and u dont appreciate it and request a different instructor.if they wont change it, ask for ur money back if u've already paid and try to go somewhere else.driving isnt that hard, just stop THINKING about driving and its pretty natural, u seem like a pretty intellegent person so this should be a breeze.goodluck my friend!!hope ihelped!

Answer 10

change instructor.

Answer 11

That's absolutely absurd!  It sounds like this quack is just in his job to hang around young girls.  You really need to file a complaint with a superior if he has one, and request a change in instructors.  If he is an independent worker, you need to request a refund then contact the Better Business Bureau.

Answer 12

Change instructors and report him. After all he is there to help you learn to drive not criticise and be horrible to you.

Answer 13

Find another instructor and report him to the company he works for or whoever is above him. Cheeky s*d!

Answer 14

Yeah go else where with a techer like that your confeince will be shot and thus effect your driving skills.

you may be better off asking your friends and family who they went with to learn to drive and get a new instructor,

Answer 15

Change instructors - take your money elsewhere.

Answer 16

find another, when you cancel,

tell him why you moved, feckin t**t.....

Answer 17

Definitely change instructors, that is soooo harsh! I would also complain if he is part of a company and ask for some kind of compensation for the pain he has caused you through his personal comments.

Learning to drive is hard enough without having to put up with that kind of rubbish, don't waste your money on him! Good luck and I hope you get there in the end :-) I failed my test a few weeks ago lol I'm a bit nervous about trying again xxxx

Answer 18

Thats terrible. If it was me I would report this horrible man and ask for my money back.

Ask some of your friends if they could recomend anybody. You can pass your test just stay positive and dont let this moron inflict this hurt onto you.

Good Luck x

Answer 19

You live in the US, right?  If so, then we are a free market society.  go elsewhere.  And report him to his supervisor for his bad manners. If you don't want to go elsewhere, ask for a different instructor and tell them why!

Answer 20

You should report that it is agest behavour! Do not stand for it!

Answer 21

Report him to the company he works for, if he is independent, ask for a refund, and go elsewhere.  No question, that is out of line.

Answer 22

find another school quicklly. run... run.... run far away

Answer 23

Thats pretty mean leave that one and find a nice one.My friend she has a really nice instructer.

Answer 24

Change driving instructors immediately! If anyone asks,tell them about the remarks and that you have already made your decision to leave, even if they say that that person will change.

Answer 25

tell him to look in the mirror

find a new instrutor and pass your test

good luck sxxxxx

Answer 26

Im 30 and i just pass my theory 2 weeks ago and am going to get some intructor's lessons soon.

I will suggest you to change your instructor as soon as possible.he doesn't make any sense at all!!!!!!!!!

and Im sure there're plenty more DECENT instructors who are happy to help!

Answer 27

Talk to his superior and get a new driving instructor. You should not have to put up with that.

Answer 28

get another driving instructor driving is easy to learn but its having a supportive driving instuructor that gives you the confidence to do it.

So go to somebody else who is willing to learn you supportivley.

Your never too old to learn anything!

Answer 29

Get another instructor,  this guy   is so rude  and you will have no confidence in him...  Of course you are not too old... I passed at 25.

Answer 30

Answer 31

Change instructors right away,of course your not too old to learn to drive,and he is being paid to teach you not look at you to comment on wrinkles,
