Subject: Re: World's worst driving instructor by CentralCoaster on 2010/2/8 22:37:09 First lap of the first session and the instructor is jumping his shit? I feel bad for the driver, he was courteous and I didn't see any mistakes. He was stuck behind a slower car and probably didn't even know the course layout yet. I did a little bit of novice instruction at 2 of my track days and also had those same drivers ride shotgun in my car. You take what you get and try to help from there. Criticism isn't motivating. I'm glad to see the driver stuck it out and didn't seem to be phased by it. That "instructor" has a lot to learn. I had a motorcycle instructor that was pretty bad. Here we are paying for instruction and trying our best to stay shiny side up in a big parking lot and it was nothing but negative and snide comments. Later he had the nerve to pull me to the side and cuss me out. A girl navigating the slalom ahead of me was losing control so I thought it would be safer to go off course to the side rather than get hit by whoever might be behind me. I had a word with the head instructor after all that and apparently I wasn't the only one. I wonder how many new rider he discouraged from the hobby that day. |
