Is it normal to get roasted badly for your first driving lesson
Basically went for my first private driving lesson. First thing i told the uncle i am extremely new to car noob until cannot noob alr.
Uncle straight drove me to a busy road and tell me to start driving. Got roasted for everything during the lesson.
For eg, holding steering wheel too hard, switch the signal lever to the wrong side, accidentally braking too hard and braking while turning cos got pple walking.
To make things worse, i could barely understand the uncle’s chinese, i only know i was being roasted the whole time for not knowing anything.
Honestly not affected emotionally by it or anything but damm legit dint expect it.
TLDR: got roasted badly for my first driving lesson dk if it is normal for everyone
Update: Did a background research on my PDI, reviews say he doesent even deserve a 1 star rating

- Doesn’t really matter, the fact that you have trouble understanding his instructions is a red flag (safety issues) so please find another instructor.
- Better to change instructor. You need to be able to understand your instructor well, and have some decent rapport with each other, to learn well. It doesn’t seem like either of this is going to happen..
- Even by PDI standards, it sounds pretty bad. My first lesson was on a closed road, with the majority of the class being acquainted with the basic stuff like indicators, mirrors and handbrakes
Only on lesson 3 or 4 was I allowed on the roads. Your PDI seems to not only be putting you at risk, but also other road users by getting you to drive on busy roads in the first lesson. - Got roasted exactly the same style, half way through, I was pissed. Stop at road side, fired the uncle on the spot. Found another nicer one. Some of these old uncles are POS.
