Abuse of Dual Controls
Dual control systems are popular among driving instructors. It's a system that allows for a safe driving environment for students. But unfortunately dual controls can be abused too.
When it comes to teaching students how to drive, safety is crucial. That's why most driving instructors make use of dual control systems.
These controls help to make the learner driver feel safe while training. It also allows the instructor to take over the controls of the car in an emergency situation. But it's important to be aware of the possible abuse of these systems.
The most common abuse comes when an instructor wants to control the car all the time. This will lead to overruling the learner driver completely.
As a result, the student will not learn how to handle the car properly on their own. This will leave the student unable of handling an emergency situation. This will not benefit the students in any way.
Driving instructors should always be properly trained before using dual control systems. They need to understand the reason why these controls are installed. They also need to realise that it is for the student's own well-being and success.
By overruling a learner driver, you will not allow them to learn how to handle a car on their own. Of course you do get instructors who don't use the system when they should either. This is another form of abuse.
Apart from abuse, dual control systems are still a great tool for driving instructors. Students will have a safer driving environment. These systems can also be uninstalled very easily.
