Question: Do such programmes really send out the correct message to the masses?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me… ABSOLUTELY NOT!<\/p>\n

Exactly the opposite to be honest.<\/p>\n

Having recently been made aware of, in my opinion, silly proposals by TV producers to create a\u00a0show which\u00a0will see so-called celebrities teaching members of the public to drive, I have now read an uncomfortable article stating that\u00a0Channel 5 is making a new series called ‘Never Teach Your Wife To Drive’…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As far as I am aware, the former programme has yet to be officially commissioned – and hopefully this status will remain so – however the latter, it seems, has already got the go-ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concerning thing for me is that such programmes\u00a0send out totally the wrong (potentially dangerous) message to the general public, while essentially\u00a0belittling and making a mockery of the driver training profession in general.<\/p>\n

To quote a line from the show’s director of programming, \u201cThese feisty couples will have explosive dynamics guaranteed to start fireworks\u201d…<\/p>\n

Really?!<\/p>\n

Having the responsibility of being behind the wheel is dangerous enough without “explosive dynamics” on display between the couples featured.<\/p>\n

Again, all these shows achieve – in the name of entertainment evidently – is to dilute the seriousness of learning to drive, while also making light of bad or incorrect attitudes behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

These factors are a worrying recipe for disaster in my humble opinion.<\/p>\n
