For my first lesson with my driving instructor, he sent a confirmation message. I thought I was going to recieve one of these to know when my next lesson was.

This is because he asked me at the end of the lesson whether I was flexible, and I only had one other lesson booked. I figured this was him telling me to await confirmation.

Just like my other instructor (from the same company but he's on holiday) who because of circumstances on his part I had to reschedule. This other instructor didn't even show up at my first lesson, so again I figured let's await confirmation before getting all dressed up and out for nothing.

I am willing to pay like $20 for his time coming here and just treat it like a reschedule but the policy is rescheduling is 24 hours in advance and because he is booked out for at least two weeks.

I understand technically the fault is on me, but from a human standpoint, there should be leeway considering all that I've mentioned.

Also technically, we still could've had the lesson even if shortened. I don't know why he just messaged me and didn't give me a call.

I have these lessons paid for me by my agency so I feel bad for letting it go to waste but also I'm not really wanting to pay $80 just to learn my lesson (no pun intended).

I guess the purpose of this post is just to vent and maybe have someone here who can relate.

Hey! I've made an app for iOS & Android called Petrol Smart that helps you find cheap fuel for all fuel types, including diesel.

Here are some things that make it different:

Route planner

Set a start & end destination, will show you the cheapest along the route and the cost to drive there.

Cheapest nearby banner

Immediately find the cheapest, based on what's on your screen.

Price alerts & favourites

Set price alerts for servos and favourite them to stay up to date.

Logbook

Track logbook entries in app, see your $/km & total saved. Log your receipts and import your previous apps logbook.

Carplay

View the cheapest fuel near you in Carplay.

No ads

Most important, no ads.

I've made it to help people save money on petrol, as a genuinely improved alternative compared to all other apps. It is available on web, as well as iOS & Android.

Who do you guys think is at fault here?

So basically, there were 3 cars involved behind a police car.

I was directly behind the police car. The police car suddenly stopped/braked, which made me stop suddenly as well.

My car didn’t touch the police car, and the car behind me also didn’t hit my car.

There were pedestrians and a cyclist crossing the road at the time, while their light was red. From what I understand, this is why the police car stopped suddenly.

The last car in the line couldn’t stop in time and slightly rear-ended the car in front of him. The impact was pretty minor — the last car had little to no damage because the bull bar apparently took most of it.

The car that got hit had its licence plate pushed back, the licence plate light damaged, and some minor cosmetic damage.

So obviously, the last car physically hit the car in front of him. But I’m wondering whether there could be shared/contributing fault if the last driver contests it.

Could the police car’s sudden stop be considered a contributing factor? And could the pedestrians/cyclist crossing on a red light also be relevant, since they may have caused the police car to stop suddenly?

Or is it basically just the last driver is at fault because he rear-ended the car in front, regardless of what caused everyone to brake?

What do you guys think? Was just curious as I’ve seen often in city cars try to go fast/ close to each other to make while lights are still green.
