I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with my driving instructor .
I'm booked in to take my test in 2 weeks & after I've been in the car with him I feel less confident about the test .
My main problem is the dual control pedals on his side . I was always told they shouldn't use them unless it's an emergency or you've done something very wrong or illegal .
We were in a 50 km/h zone & the light about 150-200 meters ahead had just turned orange & the next car was about that distance away & he started braking for me already .
Another time we were at a stop sign , a car just passed & I was safe to cross , then when I lifted my foot off the brake & onto the accelerator & the engine revved & I realized his foot was on his brake . He said to me " you're free to go thru " & I said " I know but your foot is on the brake " , he followed with " oh , sorry about that " .
Then lastly , I went to go around a corner - no cars in the street behind me , in front or in the street I was turning into & halfway around the corner he puts on the brake & said I should look more , but I was sitting there for the recommended minimum 5 second .
Is it right for him to do this ?
Sorry , this is so long .
Bungee , maybe you should actually read what you write before you submit it .
Scott , in the NSW driving test , if you don't wait at least 5 seconds at a stop sign it's an instant fail .
