Oddly Impatient And Short Tempered Man Meets All Prerequisites To Become A Driving Instructor

Another impatient and short tempered man has found his calling as a driving instructor for nervous teenagers.

"Nothing beats seeing a nervous teenager come into my car that I can really just let out all of my frustrations on?"

Bruce Smith (58) a former cop who was let off the force for an incident he doesn't want to talk about says he'd found his true calling after his messy divorce.

The 58 year old, who regularly screams at the TV, screams at people from his car and threatens cyclists, says he had no idea being a driving instructor would be so satisfying.

"I had no idea that everyone at the company were men just like me!" he said.

"I've built a really good network of like minded blokes," he added.

Bruce says the job allows him to repeatedly slam an imaginary brake pedal, grab the dashboard dramatically and sigh loudly whenever a learner hesitates for more than half a second at an intersection.

"It's important they know that every tiny mistake could've killed us all," he explained while aggressively pointing at a parked hatchback.

Industry experts say the profession continues to attract a remarkably impatient personality type, with successful applicants typically possessing bottled up anger, high blood pressure and an unwavering belief that every other driver on the road is an idiot.

Driving schools have defended the hiring trend, insisting students ultimately benefit from experiencing the exact sort of irrationally angry middle aged man they'll spend the rest of their lives trying to avoid on Australian roads.
