Driving Instructors Are Scamming Students? Let Me Explain...

I keep seeing comments from learner drivers who feel like they’re being taken advantage of by driving instructors. In this video, I break down the three most common “driving instructor scams” learners talk about online — and explain which ones aren’t scams at all, and the one that actually is.

We talk honestly about:
✔️ Why driving lesson prices feel so high (and what you’re really paying for)
✔️ The myth that instructors “hold learners back” to get more money
✔️ How confidence, readiness, and safety affect when you should take your test
✔️ The real driving test fee scam some instructors charge — and why it’s not OK
✔️ What you can do before test day to protect yourself

Most learners aren’t being ripped off — but there is one situation you should absolutely watch out for, and I want every learner driver to know about it before it’s too late.

If you’re a learner driver who’s ever thought:
• “Am I being overcharged for lessons?”
• “Is my instructor stopping me from taking my test?”
• “Why have I suddenly been charged extra for my driving test?”

…this video is for you.

This isn’t about attacking instructors — it’s about clearing up confusion, protecting learners, and helping you understand what’s normal, what’s fair, and what isn’t.

Whether you’re learning to drive, preparing for your practical driving test, or feeling anxious about lesson costs and test day fees, this video will give you clarity and peace of mind.
