    Where I grew up, driving school was mandatory before being eligible for a license.

    I ended up going to two. The first one, the instructor advocated disregarding caution and just trusting in the universe to take care of you (not exactly how she phrased it). At one point some state representative came in; the instructor, apparently forewarned, told the class that she would be teaching differently the day the representative was there and that we shouldn’t comment on it.

    When my mom found out, she took me out and put me in a better known school, then demanded a refund from the first one. The instructor sent her a copy of her contract, highlighting a phrase that was something like “no refund under any conditions.”

    A few months later, that school was no longer open.

      My driver teacher keep cat calling women on the street and then asked me if I was gay because I never turned around to see the women he was harassing while I was fucking afraid I was about to crash again something.

        I’m not sure if yours sounds worse than mine - I guess it depends on the metric - but they both seem pretty awful.
