Ironically, I'm a driving instructor, and pretty much the only time I really use my car is when I'm at work.
Driver in the streets, public transportation and pedestrian advocate in the sheets
The enemy!!1!
Wait, your car? You're instructing learners in your own car? How does this work, doesn't your car need pedals for the passenger seat?
Yep. You can get them installed on basically all cars. The next car I'm looking at is a Lexus. By the looks of it I'll have to get my dual controls made bespoke for that which could easily cost upwards of £600.
I honestly much prefer doing it in my own car as opposed to having to hire.
so you don't work for a driving instructor company?
That's pretty standard in the UK
