My instructor when I learned to drive a bus had a similar, mocking, shouty, militaryesque teaching technique.
I passed first time. I bet he's retired now but I'd wager if I learned to drive a bus today I'd have a different,
more personable and forgiving learning experience. I HATED my instructor. But he prepared me well for a stressful,
aggravating job by winding me up to breaking point (I considered chinning him on a few occasions) and expecting me
to drive to a high standard. After I passed, he instantly became a more mellow and friendly fella, and that's when
the penny dropped that he was doing that to test my resolve, patience and aggressive tendencies since I was only 21 at .
the time. After passing he revealed that of the two students on his bus, Me and a bloke called Paul, I was by far
the better driver, and he was merely assessing my temperament, by digging me out as often as possible. Usually in
an OTT manner making a mountain out of a mole hill. It got to me because Paul (who fucked up regularly when
it was his turn at the wheel) never got the same verbal treatment. He was 40 something, two kids, mortgage.
Perfect bus driver material. If Paul was an ice cream, he'd be vanilla.I was a bit more rum and raisin and Tony,
my instructor took (apparent) delight in belittling the fruit right out of me. I came home almost broken by his
constant shouting and complaining about my performance. I suspect Paul, some 24 years later is still driving a bus.
He just came across as a lifer, looking for somewhere to serve a sentence.
Then: "Nearside mirror..... Nearside...... Nearsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide you fucking cretin
Well done. you've just killed a cyclist. That's time in prison. I mean it, one more fuckup and you're out of here.
I thought you could drive, but you're shit at it. Why don't you go home and stop wasting my time." etc
Now: "Don't worry, It's okay to run your rear wheels over a roundabout, nobody got hurt, it's just a bit of
grass. Would you like to stop and have a cup of tea and a chat about your feelings? No we won't fail you for that, we
need all the drivers we can get" etc ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
