To start out with, I have been driving since last summer when my parents taught me. My parents live abroad (but we are American) so I figured I would take some lessons and get my license once I turned 18 now that I am in college. I chose D and D Auto School because they were the cheapest I could find and I am on a college student's budget. My first lesson was with Wei, a week before Winter Break. I then went abroad to visit my parents over winter break and drove about 30 hours with them as practice before my road test. When I returned to Boston, I went for a driving lesson to see if the instructor thought I was ready. My lesson was with David. Before the lesson, David asked me where I learned to drive. He then proceeded to make comments about how the driving in "my country" (I’m from California) is wrong and whoever taught me, taught me wrong, essentially insulting my parents. I found his comments to be ignorant and downright racist. I received some terrible advice from him including a remark about how "in the USA, your mirrors don't matter, you only need to look in front of you". I was criticized for following the law in some instances, notably, not changing lanes at his instruction in the MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I took another lesson on the day of the road test. 20 minutes before the test, the instructor went so far as to call me a lousy driver. Way to boost confidence. I ended up passing the test, so I'm grateful for that, but I accredit that more to my prior experience than the instructor. I suppose my personal experience with the school could have been worse but, if I didn't already know how to drive correctly, I would've been turned off completely from driving by my experience. People who don't know how to follow the rules of the road definitely shouldn't be teaching others driving.
