I don’t think it should make a difference wether you have a female or male instructor if they’ve both been taught to teach the same way however i can see why to some people they would prefer to have a driving teacher of the same sex.

This is really very interesting. In my opinion it is required to select driving instructor with whom you feel comfortable.

Very important question. Gerenal public are not aware that all driving instructors are checked for CRB and any complaint against them can potentially ruin their career. So come on ladies choose driving instructor who you think is competent and able rather then their gendre.

You are absolutely right. As a driving instructor i have come across few similar situations, but my understanding is most people are not aware of CRB checks and for that reason DSA should make general public aware that they are safe with their Driving Instructors.

I feel many young ladies are sensitive and want their driving instructor to focus on driving and not be destracted into irrelevant conversation. I have had many female students who decided to switch from a female driving instructor and have made very quick progress leading success in their test. My magic formula is simple greeting, any talking is aimed at driving and plenty of driving practice.

Gettin lots of call from certain religios backgrounds who NEED a female instructor. Gutted as my partner who was an ADI has elected to come of the register as she has lost her confidence to teach after an illness. Hate giving pupils away. Arghh

I’ve gotta say, I was the other way and wanted a male instructor, prob cause I had this belief that men are better drivers and more patient in their working environment, god was i wrong! my first instructor was male, and scared the hell out of me, i had never even sat in a driving seat and he seemed slightly annoyed that i was nervous!!! he got irritated that i just wasn’t understanding all the jargon like MSPSL and understand road markings and signs!! he made me so nervous, i was glad when he had to leave due to family commitments, i then just randomly went on the net and emailed a local company, the guy phoned and said he was busy but his partner would call me ( a female) i decided i would do a block of 10 with her then get a guy (thoughts of pmt, kids and scattyness) but bloody hell she was and is fab, i’m ashamed cause i am a female and should really be all for “girl power” but think cause i was brought up by a mainly male family 2 of which were hold their adi, and 1, who is an examiner, i just kinda thought men were better at the drivin thing!!! i wouldn’t particularly ask for a female adi when my kids start to learn but really have changed my opinion and i’m glad my instructor is fab (whether male or female)

I cant understand why anyone would state what sex instructor they require. As long as they are a qualified driving instructor then they are still going to be able to teach you irrespectively to their sex. Although there has been a number of news articles about male driving instructors touching pupils legs, which might make them leave that instructor and request a female.
