Picking the Best Driving Instruction: Not Easy, But Not Impossible

How to find the best driving instructor

Driving instructors are advertised everywhere: in the yellow pages, on the bulletin board at school, on car displays. With so many claiming to be the best driving instructors, it can be overwhelming to sift through all the information available and choose. Here are some suggestions that can help in the selection of the best driving instructor.

Ask around.

The average person knows tens of people who have recently used a driving instructor: friends, older siblings, neighbors; sometimes even parents! Each of these people is likely to have a strong opinion about the driving instructor they used. It’s a good idea to mine these people for information about their experience. The best driving instructors will leave their customers raving about their good qualities, while the customers of bad driving instructors will be more than ready to warn other prospective driving students. In addition to a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down, past customers can provide specific details about the driving instructors they used, enabling the prospective student to select a driving instructor based on the qualities that are most important to him or her.

Personal qualities of a good driving instructor.

The best driving instructors all have a number of indispensable qualities in common. Firstly, they are punctual. A driving appointment is often shoehorned into a busy schedule, and nothing can be more irritating than standing on a street corner, counting the minutes ticking by, and waiting for a tardy instructor to roll up. Similarly, they must be reliable. In addition to being irritating, canceled appointments can derail one’s plans to take the driving test on a certain date, especially if they are not promptly rescheduled. Most of all, the best driving instructor will be patient and approachable, someone whose students will feel comfortable asking questions and who won’t mind repeating instructions for a student who takes a while to catch on.

Pricing a driving instructor.

Prospective students often look for the cheapest rather than the best driving instructor. When operating under a tight budget, this may seem like a convenient place to cut corners. However, cheap driving instructors will often cut corners as well, providing bad value even for the small amount of money they charge. Good driving instructors do not have to resort to special offers and price reductions in order to attract customers. A price that is drastically below market level is often a red flag for an instructor who cannot attract customers by any other means because of a bad temper, bad time-management skills, or simply bad teaching. Let the buyer beware: usually, you get what you pay for.
