In Europe we have special test for trucks with trailers and trucks without trailers. I am currently in the program for trucks without trailers. My instructor is just terrible – freaking out whenever I ask any question, acting smart (using weird comparissons to show how bad I am), asking questions not even related to driving and implying that I am an dumb, constantly repeating how bad I am in driving (I already know my driving skills aren’t as good as they should be – what’s the point of him giving me a long sermon about it literally every lesson). I feel like hardly 10 seconds pass without some of his strange behavior. I am under a lot of stress which makes it hard for me to learn anything and makes me quite clumsy (more than I usually am). I am the type of person who doesn’t really know to stand up for himself (I generally don’t like talking to most people and I try to avoid arguments), so I just say repeat “Ok”, “Sorry”, etc., but it really bothers me and makes lessons almost pointless.
Anyways, I got this course from the state for free and I can’t change the instructor, but at least I can use the time I got for operating truck for free and ignore his strange behavior as much as I can. I would, however, want to pass through the basics (like turning left and right) again, but if I ask him, there is going to be a scene, so could someone point out some videos that discuss this? I mostly see videos about trucks with trailers on Youtube, but I would like to get as much info about driving long trucks without trailers since it’s hard to gather information from the instructor…
