In a car with dual controls, you steady trembling hands, Turning nervous first-time drivers Into people with plans.
You speak calm words of wisdom as the mirrors shake with fear, “Check again… now signal… breathe,” The mantra we still hear.
You’ve weathered stalled-out mornings, and roundabouts gone wrong, yet somehow keep your patience like it’s fuel that lasts lifelong.
You celebrate the small things— A smooth clutch, a tidy turn, and teach us that on every road there’s always more to learn.
So here’s to every lesson, every brake you had to press, for guiding us through chaos with remarkable finesse.
Driving instructors, thank you— For the courage that you loan, until the day we pass the test and take the wheel alone.
